By Katy Richardson Performed with Imperfect Orchestra
In 2000, Dilys Richardson anonymously sent her eldest granddaughter Katy her 1949 wedding dress, then later, a journal containing memories of her early life.
Based on these sources, Katy Richardson (artist and performer), and Imperfect Orchestra (Home 2013, Tamar 2014) present Relic, an immersive visual, auditory and musical performance exploring themes of deterioration of memory and identity.
'Relic' is supported by the Suzanne Sparrow Plymouth Language School.

Christopher Fox: Magnification Scott Mc Laughlin: Snowflake Michael Finnissy: Same as we Nicholas Peters: Scantlebury
Juliet Fraser performs Voice(s), a programme for soprano and electronics that exploits the technology of pre-recorded tape parts and live manipulation to explore the interior worlds of memory, dreamings and identity. The central piece of the programme is Nicholas Peters' Scantlebury which sets his Grandad's spoken reminiscences of all the characters in his family, who were from Devonport, Plymouth, to music (?).
Come and enjoy an evening of chamber music for strings and a delicious supper in the Cornish village of Botus Fleming. Funds raised will support Ten Tors Orchestra’s 2016/17 concert series.
The ensemble will perform popular music by Mozart and Handel and the famous Monti Czardas.
Please note this event is not a part of the Peninsula Arts programme. For more information, please contact the event organisers directly.

The 20 instruments, that originate from Indonesia are made of bronze and are built and tuned to be played together as an orchestra. They produce a unique rhythmical vibrating sound, allowing a variety of music to be played ranging from louder, flamboyant and dramatic pieces to quieter, contemplative arrangements.
Simon Ible, conductor Robyn Allegra Parton, soprano Anna Harvey, mezzo-soprano Daniel Auchincloss, tenor James Oldfield, bass-baritone
This was Schubert’s last Mass composed in 1828. It is quite different from his early masses – very romantic with a Beethoven-like style and reflects some of the musical passion of Mozart’s Requiem. It is a large scale work requiring a substantial orchestra, with glorious choral sections and a particularly beautiful Et in carnatus est for the soloists.
