Ahead of the world premiere of The Glass Eye taking place at Holywell Music Room at 7.30pm, Associate Composer Alex Ho discusses the inspiration for his new ‘cli-fi’ song cycle with Elayce Ismail, as well as the collaborative process of creating a major new work for the song repertoire.

Professor Nayanika Mathur (Professor of Anthropology and South Asian Studies, University of Oxford, and Governing Body Fellow at Wolfson College) will respond to the question posed by Alex Ho about the imagined impact climate change could have on a social level. The conversation will be chaired by Prof Daniel Grimley (Head of Humanities at University of Oxford; Professor of Music and Professorial Fellow, Merton College).
