A multi-media concert to highlight the issue of plastic in our oceans
This concert forms part of the wider 'Our Fragile Planet' event, through a collaboration between local arts organisations and the community featuring all aspects of the performing arts. It brings this important environmental issue into focus and celebrates how Guernsey can come together to give it recognition, culminating in a multi-media performance by the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra.
The Guernsey Symphony Orchestra will perform Britten’s Sea Pictures. Tintagel by Bax, and Fantasia on British Sea Songs (usually heard at The Last Night of the Proms).
Photographic backdrops will be provided by Spectrum Guernsey and Karl Taylor Photography.
Conducted by Jean Owen, the evening will be the conclusion of a day of talks, as outlined below.
