What does Antarctica sound like?What happens when music meets a place that very few of us will ever see?
Can a human voice capture ice, distance, and the fragile life that exists at the edge of the world?
Voices from the Frozen World brings together music and science to explore one of the most remote and extraordinary environments on Earth.
Soprano Naomi Rogers and pianist Patrick Hemmerlé will perform works inspired by the Antarctic landscape and its histories, including a UK premiere and a world premiere:
- Cumha an Nàdair, a lament for Nature, by Alessandro Cortello
- A Tale of Light and Fear, again by Alessandro, on a poem by Jennifer Freer about the Southern Ocean ecosystem
- In Antarctica, by Edward Nesbit, a song cycle based on the diaries of Scott’s expedition.
Alongside the music, marine ecologist Jennifer Freer will offer insight into the science behind these works, from the unique Antarctic ecosystem that inspired them to the environmental challenges it now faces.
Rather than simply depicting a distant place, this programme invites a different kind of listening, one shaped as much by science as by sound.
A concert, and a conversation about a world that is both remote and deeply connected to our own.
