One of the UK’s largest student-run new music groups, The Chimera Ensemble is renowned for its innovative programming and often gives the first UK performances of works by leading international composers. For their last concert of our 2022/23 season, the Ensemble presents a scintillating programme exploring the theme of music inspired by art and colour, featuring pieces by Thea Musgrave, Anna Thorvaldsdottir and York-based composer James Williamson.1
