Seascape

This Digital Film will be live at 7.30pm on 13 February 2025. It will be available to view free of charge for 30 days.

Surging tides and lapping waves, all heard from a seaside hotel in the dead of night: it was a stay in Broadstairs, Kent, that inspired the remarkable English composer Ruth Gipps to create her evocative Seascape in 1958 for an ensemble of ten wind players. Take a dip in the watery wonders of Gipps’s passionate music - and discover her Lake District-inspired pastoral idyll Cringlemire Garden played live in February.
