Acclaimed Leeds-based pianists and composers, Simeon Walker and Laura Cole, will each perform brand-new music live in the gallery space. They have been specially commissioned to respond to our current exhibition, 'Mary Griffiths: Everything and All of Us'.

The exhibition as a whole foregrounds Griffiths' collaborative approach. This includes works created with poets, biophysicists, astronomers, engineers - and musicians.

It is in this spirit that we've invited Simeon Walker and Laura Cole to the gallery. Their new compositions engage with the themes of Griffiths' artworks: rhythm, patterns, memory and identity. The musicians also share Griffiths' interest in encouraging taking one’s time, both in the creation and experience of the work. Through two mesmerising performances, they will draw out harmonies between these creative practices.

So, join us in the gallery for moving piano music surrounded by the artworks of Mary Griffiths. An exclusive experience that will captivate your ears and your mind.

A Q&A session with the musicians will follow the performances, chaired by Curator Laura Claveria.

With thanks to the School of Music, University of Leeds, for generously providing a piano.
