Her Ensemble: The Three Dancers with Jess Gillam and Laura Van der Heijden & Junyan Chen

Inspired by the history of still-life paintings, Caroline Shaw’s piano quartet Thousandth Orange depicts tiny oblique revelations that time's filter can open up in a musical memory. Picasso, meanwhile is the starting point for Elena Kats-Chernin’s sax, marimba, and accordion enriched dive into love, death, and desire. These ideas streamline through Dobrinka Tabakova’s 2002 string trio which grapples with the idea of visualising sound itself.
