Eavesdropping: Khabat Abas and Rachel Musson
Advertisement
We are delighted to welcome back new music platform eavesdropping to Arnolfini for a powerful evening of experimental sound and performance.
This event features two incredible artists:
🎻 Khabat Abas, a cellist, composer and interdisciplinary artist from Kurdistan-Iraq. Abas explores memory, space and identity through sound, breaking the boundaries of traditional cello with improvisation, installation, and performance.
🎷 Rachel Musson, a renowned UK-based saxophonist, improviser and composer. Rachel’s work blends improvisation, text, field recordings and processing to build immersive sonic environments. She is a 2024–2027 recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Composer Award.
Curated by Juliet Fraser, Artistic Director of eavesdropping – a platform that celebrates new music and experimentalism through festivals, podcasts and artist development.
Our galleries and bookshop will remain open until 7:30pm. Ticketholders receive 10% off in the bookshop on the night.
🎟 Book now and join us for a night of bold and exploratory music.
