In Praise of Shadows invites an audience to explore how architectural sites can shape, and be captured by sound.

In a building in Newcastle's city centre that has been empty for over almost 8 years, a meter-diameter hole has been cut out between two floors. An entirely acoustic performance of experimental music will take place across this hole, with the audience seated on the ground floor and performers on the first.

Some of the UK's most well-respected and exciting musicians will perform strings, brass, woodwind and percussion alongside choral and solo vocals, exploring the full range of sonic possibilities of this altered space.

Following the performances, Tim Bailey, partner architecture at xsite Architecture, will expand upon ideas of acoustics and their space in architectural practice in a brief lecture. The audience will then be invited to explore the building, the sculptural changes and their experiences over a drink.

In Praise of Shadows is commissioned by Wunderbar and produced in partnership with xsite architecture.
