Linking to the project's name Synesthesia, people seeing colours when they hear music, dynamic animation will project onto the inside of St Botolph's church in response to the live organ performance.

The music will showcase contemporary pieces by composers Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, including Opening from Glassworks, Timelapse, Mad Rush and Koyaanisqatsi. In addition to this, there will be an original composition written for Synesthesia by Tobias Wheal.

Synesthesia is a drop in performance where the audience is encouraged to walk around and become immersed in the experience.

The event is free and optional donation are welcomed to help fundraising for St Botolph's church and local charity Guildcare.
