| 5.15pm St Endellion Church St Endellion, Port Isaac Cornwall PL29 3TP Details: Web site Free | Late-Night Chamber Concert : Le Tout Paris (1) Jane Mackay, artist Paul Daniel, interviewer St Endellion Summer Festival event 5 Jane Mackay: Painting Britten celebrates the extraordinary creative dialogue between composer Benjamin Britten and artist Jane Mackay. Marking 50 years since Britten’s death, the exhibition honours both the composer’s legacy and the enduring power of music to spark new artistic worlds. Jane Mackay experiences synaesthesia, perceiving intense colours, textures and forms when listening to music. Her lifelong fascination with Britten finds expression in vivid paintings that transform music into colour, movement and form, exploring a rich interplay of abstraction and figuration. The exhibition is open before and during concerts throughout the Festival. Artist Talk Join us to hear Jane Mackay in conversation with Paul Daniel on Saturday 1 August at 5.15pm in St Endellion Hall (free entry). |
