Braille Music

  • Recording of Hope by Zoe Dixon © Michael House

Director Michael House is paying homage to Louis Braille, the creator of the reading system for the blind by retracing Braille’s life from Paris to London. This is how the idea of composing, rehearsing and recording a piece of music in Braille with blind artists arose. Zoe Dixon was 17 when she composed Hope which subsequently was recorded in a West London Studio featuring James Risdon (recorder), Zoe Dixon (clarinet), Matthew Wadsworth (lute/theorbo), Baluji Shrivastav (tabla), Kevin Satizabal (piano) and Victoria Orawari (soprano).
