Serpentine. iii presents Middle World, an evening of music from Duo Vona and MAYNFRAME quintet
You are cordially invited to a special musical performance at the Fitzrovia Chapel, exploring themes surrounding the cyclic nature of life and death and the profound mystery of it all…
The evening will begin with a selection of modern guitar duos, including both original and arranged works for guitar, and the world premiere of a brand new piece by Zahrah Hutton inspired by ethereal drum and bass.
The evening will conclude with Schubert’s profound final hour-long chamber work, the Cello Quintet. Completed only two months before the composer’s death, the work demonstrates a young genius at the peak of his powers looking his own mortality in the eye and translating it into a piece of music that is both heartbreaking and entirely life-affirming.
The evening will also feature Set Design and Dramaturgy by Purdey Williams.
ABOUT
serpentine.iii (formerly Serpentine Trio) is a London-based multidisciplinary collective specialising in music and visual arts.
The group creates immersive performances in which sound, space, and image evolve together. Rather than presenting music within a fixed concert format, serpentine.iii invites audiences into a shared journey—one where the performance environment transforms and responds to the musical narrative in real time.
The collective is led by Ozgur Kaya, Miki Piszczorowicz, Purdey Williams, and Hope Cramsie. The group encompasses a baroque trio, an early music consort, electronic musicians, composers, fashion designers, and visual and digital artists. Rooted in historical classical performance, the sound of serpentine.iii is shaped by contemporary and electronic influences, exploring how old practices can be reactivated through modern sensibilities. These performances blur the line between concert, installation, and shared ritual.
The collective has been featured in publications such as The Strad and PLASTER. Serpentine Trio received a grant from Continuo Foundation in 2025.
