Britain's What's On Event Guide
John Metcalfe | Tree
A rare live performance from the composer, producer, and arranger to the likes of Coldplay, U2, Peter Gabriel and Blur.
John Metcalfe presents music from ‘Tree’, his stunning new album celebrating our extraordinary relationship with trees.
Coupled with gorgeous visuals from Jony Easterby, the music reflects an imagined 24-hour cycle in the life of a tree. It observes the ever-shifting interplay of light, colour and sound. It explores the intense and mystifying effect trees have on us all; our relationship with their physicality, their essence, and their importance to the future of our planet. Joining John on stage are some of the UK’s finest string players. They have played on countless Hollywood film scores, and with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé and Coldplay.
