Enjoy this musical performance exploring the wonderful connections that can be made between music and art. Working alongside Art Historian Michael Bird and Head of Composition Philip Cashian, five composition students have crafted unique pieces of work inspired by individual artworks in the Gallery’s collection.
Each composition will be performed by accomplished music students from the Royal Academy of Music and will be accompanied by an introduction from the young composer, providing a fascinating insight into the creative process of composing classical music.
