Sit back and contemplate our Blue Planet whilst being immersed in wonderful music inspired by planet Earth.

The backdrop to this fantastic concert is the extraordinary Gaia installation hanging in the centre of Bristol Cathedral. The Bristol Ensemble will take you on an incredible journey of music inspired by nature, from the BBC series Blue Planet by George Fenton to the Four Seasons by four different composers Einaudi, Richter, Piazzolla and Vivaldi. The timeless Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Part and Tundra by Ole Gjeilo gives you space to meditate in this unique concert that will transport you to an off planet experience! Conducted by Roger Huckle, this promises to be a night to remember.
