3-5pm Bela Emerson - 2 x120

Performed as part of Emergenc(i)es

In 2 x120, cellist Bela Emerson invites the audience to become live co-creators. This forty-minute piece connects a series of spontaneous interactions between Emerson & individual audience members, who are invited to improvise with her for two minutes each. Participants are offered one of three specific ways of interacting (two sonic, one visual), to generate a unique collaborative flow of sound. Drawing together Emerson’s extensive experience as both improviser and community musician, this is innovative and inclusive work.

Bio: Bela Emerson is an innovative cellist who composes in the moment using electronic processing. She has performed residencies at Sydney Opera House and Royal Festival Hall, as well as being commissioned by BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction as a solo performer, and releasing four solo albums. Her various collaborative works with artists such as filmmaker Tereza Buskova, acrobats Mimbre and musicians Sarah Angliss and Stephen Hiscock have been supported by PRS and Arts Council England and commissioned by BBC Radio 4 and the BFI. Bela also works as a community musician with Open Strings Music and Rhythmix’s Wishing Well, using music as a tool for connection, engagement and wellbeing.
