Internationally recognised Austro-Italian violinist Olivia De Prato performs a programme of personal importance, featuring new works for violin and electronics. The concert celebrates the recent release of her two solo albums Panorama (New Focus Recordings) and I, A.M. – Artist Mother Project (New World Records). Taken from the former, Balconies by UK-based composer Samantha Fernando receives its World Premiere, while a recent work by Canadian artist Zosha Di Castri is presented in the UK for the first time. The Dream Feed explores the intersection of the role of motherhood and the pursuit of artistic endeavours, addressing a theme closely aligned to De Prato’s own experience and creative curiosities.
