Workshop is delighted to host award-winning composer and sound artist, Helen Anahita Wilson, for a very special evening of music and sonic arts, entirely derived from plants. As composer-in-residence at Chelsea Physic Garden, Helen's work turns natural bioelectricity and biodata from medicinal and healing plants into music. Her award-winning and critically-acclaimed music is specifically composed to improve wellbeing and deepen listeners' connection to the natural world. Helen's plant-derived music has been featured on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, BBC Radios 3 and 6Music, by New Scientist, and a host of other media.
