Lewisham Libraries and Chaos Theory present Echoes Off the Pages, a series of free music events bringing inspiring sounds to new audiences. Combining captivating experimental musical performances with workshops, talks and demonstrations, Echoes Off the Pages allows audiences to experience unconventional sounds and gain insight into the techniques, instruments, and artistic vision behind the music they're hearing. Kate Arnold's music is based around the hammered dulcimer and bowed string instruments, with live-looping and real-time electronic effects. Classically trained in violin, vocals and composition, her musical activity is eclectic. She released the album Fairy Tale Ending with her "punk baroque" ensemble Fear Of The Forest in 2016, and a two-part electro-medievalist album, ROTA FORTUNAE I and I★I, in 2020 and 2021. She is now working on a new album drawing partly on material encountered during her current PhD research on medieval French songs and Arabic poems. Lewisham Libraries and Chaos Theory prioritise accessibility, creating a judgment-free atmosphere where neurodivergent audiences can engage with music on their own terms. All ages are welcome to enjoy these family-friendly afternoon events. All dates for Echoes Off The Pages: 24th May - Bartholomew - Catford Library 14th June - Kate Arnold - Deptford Lounge 28th June - Jo Quail - Catford Library 5th July - Lia Mice - Deptford Lounge Presented by Chaos Theory. This is an 18+ event
