Four Postcards from the Lakes was commissioned for the At World’s Edge Festival’s 2022 edition, where Gareth served as composer in residence.
The work invites listeners to match the music’s four movements to southern lakes from their personal experience of them.
The jaw-dropping scenery afforded by the windows of Rippon Hall made it the perfect location for the world premiere of the 2022 At the World’s Edge Festival.
It is performed here by Festival Artistic Director Benjamin Baker (violin) and the internationally celebrated Gdańsk native Maciej Kułakowski (cello):
