Drawing on popular Western music through the ages, Chris Charlesworth has selected songs that reflect our complex emotional relationship with the moon. From romance to restlessness, mystery to menace, music and lyrics have been enriched by our nighttime companion. Sensuality, loneliness and love are all associated with the moon as this soundtrack reveals. The session will be accompanied by evocative selection of artworks curated by Lisa Pettibone.
