Composer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Perkin is no stranger to the Festival: his works featured in The Ros Tapestry Suite last year and Róisín Reimagined at KAF 2022. But this year he takes centre stage with a major new composition commissioned by the Festival.

The More Beautiful World is a striking setting of texts from an inspirational book by the American activist Charles Eisenstein, a work that asks what, in a time of social and ecological crisis, we can do to make the world a better place.

Straddling the space between classical and experimental music, Perkin’s numinous score, beautifully performed by The Fews Ensemble, distils the essence of Eisenstein’s remarkable book.
