Patrick Rafter & Sam Perkin - A Music Network Resonate Performance
Classical violinist Patrick Rafter will work alongside artist and composer Sam Perkin at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, to create “Freedom In Performance”. Motivated by a common desire to push the boundaries of performance practice and to challenge what is widely considered to be the accepted Concert Format, they will experiment with gesture and movement making these elements central to the final performance.
