About this Event
🌳 TREELINE: THE SOUND OF WOOD
🗓️ Tuesday 24 November | 7.00pm – 8.00pm
Sound, Nature, Wood and Harps
Harpist Ruth Wall and composer Graham Fitkin present an informal talk with music on 3 harps looking at how sound waves and wood work together to produce beautiful instruments with amazing different tones.
Ruth and Graham will look at how sound waves work and how wood and other materials conduct sound waves. Using harps and tunes from both the time of Queen Elizabeth 1 and the centuries since, you will hear how different materials create different listening experiences.
Ruth and Graham have recently returned from their Treeline tour, which focused on an Epping Forest beech tree. Treeline involved a 2500 mile journey from Romania to the UK, with 20 concerts and workshops along the way, culminating in Epping Forest. Graham cycled the entire route from Bucharest to London and the project highlighted how important old growth forests are, and connected communities to their natural environments, linking Epping Forest with European forests and arts organisations in 9 different countries.
