Electra Perivolaris Brushstrokes of Nightmares and Dreams
Schoenberg Pierrot lunaire op 21

Music, inspired by paintings, inspired by music.

The story of the moonstruck character of Pierrot in Schoenberg’s Pierrot lunaire elicited a set of paintings by artist Kirsty Matheson, commissioned for Spitalfields Festival and showcased through digital projections this evening.

Hear Schoenberg’s mesmerising, expressionistic work in this concert, alongside music by Scottish-Greek composer Electria Perivolaris that in turn draws its inspiration from Kirsty Matheson’s artwork.

Hear artist Kirsty Matheson discuss the inspiration behind her artwork in a free pre-concert talk.
