state51 Factory

PRICE: £15-25

Festival favourite violinist Aisha Orazbayeva appears in a new light, joined by composer and electronic artist Peiman Khosravi as the Liebestraum Duo. Together they present a programme of dark re-imaginings of an eclectic mix of music, from medieval and baroque works to takes on Elvis Presley and David Lynch, alongside new works for voice, violin and electronics. Inspired by the poetry of Lord Byron, Darkness creates a shadowy, immersive soundscape, where music from across centuries collides.
