River Recital
River Recital Presents SS Robin transforms the historic SS Robin at Trinity
Buoy Wharf into an immersive environment of sound, moving image and live performance. Presented across the ship and pontoon, the programme features newly commissioned audiovisual installations by Clifford Sage (National Gallery and ICA) alongside site-responsive works from Camberwell College of Arts’ Computational Art Department, with additional interventions from Ninon Ardisson (Tate Modern; Victoria and Albert Museum) and Mathis Saunier (Philharmonia Orchestra; London Symphony Orchestra). On 26th September, the pontoon becomes a live music stage featuring performances from Tara Lily (Royal Albert Hall with RAYE; Glastonbury Festival), Chris Hyson (BBC Proms; Snowpoet), Carolina Cury, Thomas Stone (Tate Britain; Serpentine Gallery) and Narotam Horn (Serpentine Gallery; Wigmore Hall), whose work bridges contemporary classical composition, jazz improvisation and Bengali devotional music. Through ecology, technology and the Thames’ industrial histories, the dialogue is a part of the Thames Festival Trust’s Seed Funder programme as it invites audiences to experience the vessel as a living archive shaped by memory and transportation.
