THE CANVAS OF LIGHT AND SOUND
FRIDAY – SATURday, 21-22 FEBRUARY 2026 | DOORS AT 18:00, IMMERSION FROM 18:30
This is a Ticketed event
This will be an immersive experience combining live music, live painting, digital projections, dance, and conversation to create a deeply communal journey. There will be continuity between the intertwined performances over the two nights; but they will also constitute distinct, unique experiences. The Canvas of Light and Sound is not observed from a distance. You are invited into the process, to witnessing art as it comes into being and disappears again.
Contributors to the Canvas of Light and Sound include:
Ahmed Maher, internationally recognized oud virtuoso and composer, creates expansive live soundscapes rooted in improvisation and deep listening.
Jessica Charter, visual artist and painter, brings the canvas to life before the audience’s eyes, responding moment by moment to sound and motion.
Veronika Mova, contemporary dancer and movement artist, embodies the unfolding work, translating rhythm, texture, and gesture into physical form.
Kayla Price, jazz singer-saxophonist is known for her playing in the all-femme quintet Maiden Voyage and her incredible soloing skills.
Conrad Good prolific jazz bassist known for his musical responsiveness, solid groove and deeply attentive improvisation, making him a sought-after bassist in ensembles across genres.
Geoff Claridge renowned jazz musician, composer and educator. His primary instruments are clarinet and bass clarinet. His mastery of melodic expression is matched only by depth of his sound.
Here’s how the Immersive Collective describe the event:
Together, over 2 magical nights, they create a shared field of attention where music, painting, and movement are not presented side by side, but emerge together as a single, continuous act of creation.
The Canvas of Light and Sound is not observed from a distance. You are invited into the process, to witnessing art as it comes into being and disappears again.
Each night features a different configuration of energy, material, and expression. Those who attend both evenings will experience two entirely distinct works, so we encourage attending the two nights, as no two performances are the same so expect surprises!
