Crash Ensemble presents: Strings in the Air
Sunday, December 7 · 1 - 2pm. Doors at 12:30pm
Admission FREE - registration required
As winter draws in and the light fades, music has a unique way of reflecting both the stillness and intensity of the season. Strings in the Air, presented by Crash Ensemble, brings together a collection of works for strings that respond to memory, place, transformation, and renewal.
The programme includes the world premiere of Raymond Deane’s Frost’s Descent, inspired by the seasonal shift from autumn to winter, alongside music that honours milestones, explores personal journeys, and draws inspiration from myth, nature, and the echoes of history. At its heart, this Sundays at Noon concert is both a celebration of change, and a reflection on the moments and memories that shape us.
