A journey through sound, image, and the invisible threads that bind them.
Inspired by Baudelaire’s vision of hidden connections between nature, art, and emotion, Correspondences presents a one-hour string quartet concert that bridges centuries of artistic expression.
From the quiet contemplation of the Baroque to the bold textures of the Early Modern era, the programme invites listeners to experience music as an echo of the visual and emotional worlds that surround it.
Performed by two string quartets from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, each segment is framed by a brief reflection linking the music to artworks within the Guildhall Art Gallery, revealing how artistic forms converse across time.
Correspondences invites the audience into a living dialogue between sound and image, history and feeling, reason and reverie.
