Byron Wallen, composer, traveller, educator, returns to the NCEM with a very personal project – an exploration of childhood memories and the emotional strains between a mother and her son who are separated by the Atlantic Ocean. A work which is in part a response to the photographer Annabel Eolgar whose images will be shared on screen.

Emotional, searing, poignant and tough – an evening to reflect and explore the shifting balance of power between the urban and the rural, the toxicity of colonialism – with a glimpse of light before the sun in the company of two master musicians.

The NCEM works to encourage young composers across a variety of musical genres and is delighted to welcome both young jazz players from York Music Forum and compositional students from across the city who will be working with Byron Wallen earlier in the day.

Please note there is a £1.50 administration fee per transaction
