Dusk 'til Dawn: Nature in Music
a sequence of music and sound

​​Saturday 15th June 2019
St John the Evangelist Church, Iffley Road

In this unique concert presentation, we traced a musical pilgrimage charting the progression of dusk to dawn. Music for compline, night, and morning was interspersed with wildlife recordings from the British Library Sound Archive, in an evocative journey of sound.
