Back by popular demand! When Eliza came to Kettle’s Yard in 2024 she captivated us with a set of works that slowly unfolded like vast musical landscapes. And now Eliza returns with a major work by Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy that obsessively revolves around simple sounds, but gradually creates a mesmerising web of complexity. Eliza will also introduce us to composers she’s developed close relationships with over the years, including the fascinating music of Mica Levi.
Doors open at 7.30pm.
