Camerata Alma Viva, accompanied by artists Johnny de Mearns and Neil McLean Robertson, will take you on a ‘Visuosonic’ journey through the light and the dark, through heaven and hell and back out the other side. Creating an experience for you and a work of art to define the folly of control and the error of man when the psyche is governed by fear.

Charting the progress of Mozart’s ‘Divertimento’, Camerata Alma Viva and the two painters onstage will guide the viewer into the darkest fear and suffering of Shostakovich’s chamber symphony dedicated to the victims of war and fascism. This depiction of transgression will culminate in an original arrangement of Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones.

Tickets: £10. Free entry for people aged 8 – 25 (courtesy of the CAVATINA Ticket Scheme).
