CLIMATE SYMPOSIUM: “A WORLD WITHOUT…..”

This Friday, 27th July – 1pm – I’m very excited to be joining Fiona Talkington (BBC Radio 3 presenter and festival curator), and 3 other panelists to talk about “ice, climate change, silence, darkness and beyond”. It’s going to be a really interesting cross-over between what I’ve been doing as part of the Reading Climate Change Partnership, and my other world as a musician.

You can book free tickets through: https://merl.reading.ac.uk/event/climate-symposium-world-without/
