Shrewsbury Museum to host performance by internationally-renowned musicians and artists

Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery will host Field Notes, a performance by leading composer Howard Skempton and renowned artist Matthew Harris on Friday 24 October at 7.30pm.

The evening will include performances by world-class musicians of Skempton’s new piece ‘Field Notes’, and short pieces by other leading composers. There will also be an opportunity to view Harris’ intricate and layered textile artwork up close, watch a ‘behind-the-scenes’ film of the project and meet the artists.

Tina Woodward, Shropshire Council’s deputy Cabinet member responsible for museums, said:

“I’m really pleased that Howard and Matthew are visiting Shrewsbury as part of their Field Notes tour. It’s brilliant that Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery is hosting another live arts event following on from the recent and successful performance of ‘Helen’s Story’ which was enjoyed by many people.”
