Ghost Sonata
Blending movement, Arctic songs, northern light, visual design and a stunning soundscape of polar field recordings.

Blending movement, Arctic songs, northern light, visual design and a stunning soundscape of polar field recordings, Ghost Sonata is a fascinating, poignant new music-led visual performance made between Nordic, UK and European artists.
