Cambridge Music Festival stages sound and light projection on King's College Chapel

'Plenum' fuses music with science and technology to spectacular effect

This year's Cambridge Music Festival runs from November 9 to 20, and on November 15 and 16 stages a sound and light projection, ‘Plenum’, on the City’s famous King’s College Chapel from 7pm to 10.30pm. The project is one of the Festival's events designed to embrace science and technology.

Plenum is a 'computer generated architectural light projection' conceived and developed by artist Simeon Nelson in collaboration with composer Rob Godman and computer scientist/artist Nick Rothwell. It was 'inspired by both scientific and religious accounts of how our world came into being and how the cosmos maintains life and consciousness following conversations with astrophysicist and theologian Rev Professor David Wilkinson'.

For more information on the performances tonight and tomorrow (Nov 15 & 16) visit the Cambridge Music Festival website.
