IN ASSOCIATION WITH ROYAL MUSEUMS GREENWICH
In September 2016, Perpetuo & Royal Museums Greenwich presented a special event at the Cutty Sark. The event was be part of the Totally Thames Festival and featured a specially curated exhibition by London Photo Festival.
From the cliffs of Dover to the tempestuous southern Ocean, Perpetuo will take you on a poetic and musical journey exploring the beauty and unforgiving nature of our seas, and will tell the tales of the courage and love of those who have worked and sailed across it. Music by Debussy, Roxanna Panufnik, Sally Beamish, Cecilia McDowall and Malcolm Arnold. The London Photo Festival will also be specially curating an exhibition of photographs inspired by the sea to accompany the music.
The concert was programmed by Ensemble Perpetuo and Royal Museums Greenwich and part of Totally Thames that ran from 1-30 September 2016.
Totally Thames brings the river to life with a month-long season of river-related events: art, music, open days, family fun, talks, walks and boats galore.
