The world turns and everything changes. The light, the heat, the hope, the music.

As ensembles reconfigure around you providing a surround-sound experience, seven short encounters chart the daily contest between light and night.

Blazing afternoon heat gives way to a twilight feast of possibility. An evening spent dancing with time itself is capped by a midnight walk home amidst Oxford’s towering spires. A chaos-craving candle fights against the night, its watcher longing for the stability of dawn. When light finally arrives, it does so initially with pearlescent fragility, then with unstoppable tidal force.

Music from across continents and centuries intertwines with lighting design and newly commissioned poems by Charlie Lee-Potter in this latest instalment of Sinfonia Smith Square’s acclaimed #ConcertLab series. Experience an orchestra whose music isn’t confined to a stage, but envelops and thrills in unexpected forms.
