Ghosts and Whispers Clare Hammond
Event details
Fragments of music and film combine in this haunting sequence of movements by composers from Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre to Stravinsky, interlaced with pieces from John Woolrich’s Pianobook series.
Acclaimed pianist Clare Hammond is accompanied by a specially-designed new film by the iconic Brothers Quay, composed of unused fragments from their earlier works. Together, they produce a mesmeric, hour-long immersion in a world of shadows and illusions.
