Begin your IF Oxford journey with an evening of wonder, where music, science, and the hidden rhythms of the night intertwine.
As twilight settles over the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, composer violinist - Ellie Wilson invites you into Moth x Human - a hauntingly beautiful soundscape inspired by moths, AI, and the delicate balance of biodiversity. Hear the story of how this collaboration with Oxford Contemporary Music took flight, with insights from scientists at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and the University of Oxford.
Then, let curiosity guide you through the museum after hours. With a drink in hand and the exhibits softly lit, explore the natural world as you’ve never experienced it before.
Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
This event is presented by Oxford Contemporary Music in collaboration with the festival, with generous assistance from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History for the venue.
