Rebecca Hunt Waveforms world premiere at St Ives September Festival

Join contemporary composer and pianist Rebecca Hunt for the premiere of Waveforms – Piano Compositions Inspired By The Art of Dame Barbara Hepworth – at the St Ives September Festival.
This exciting performance, prompted by the return of restored Magic Stone by Barbara to the Penwith Gallery in August 2020, will take place at the Gallery on Thursday, September 15.

Each composition has been inspired by a piece of art and has been selected by the Penwith Gallery, one-handed concert pianist Nicholas McCarthy and Rebecca herself. Founded by Barbara Hepworth, the gallery offers the perfect setting to showcase Rebecca’s captivating composition and performance style.

Born in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Rebecca Hunt grew up surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the Peak District and this connection with nature and love of the landscape alongside themes of life and love informs her music.

Classically trained, Rebecca has evolved a composition style to fuse Baroque, Classical and Romantic elements with contemporary techniques, weaving intoxicating song-like melodies through a rich and expressive soundscape.

Rebecca’s captivating performance style draws the audience into a unique and intimate sound-world all of its own.

Presented as part of the popular and diverse celebration of culture of the St Ives September Festival this unique event is not to be missed!
Suitable for 14-year-olds and over.
