A concert and exhibition celebrating Dover's heritage though the eyes of contemporary artists.
INSPIRATION=DOVER is a landmark cultural event to be held on 20 May 2016 at Dover's historic Maison Dieu. The doors open at 5pm with an exhibition of commissioned works by 16 contemporary artists inspired by the WW1 collections at museums and heritage sites across Dover District. The works have been created during a two-year residency programme and will become part of the venues' permanent collections. At 8pm a concert begins with a programme that includes two musical portraits of Dover by the internationally acclaimed composer Nigel Clarke and poet Malene Skaerved performed by the 13 musicians comprising the Longbow string ensemble. It will be the world premiere of 'Pulp and Rags' based on Dover's paper industry and 'Dogger, Fisher, German Bight, Humber, Thames, Dover, Wight' is inspired by Dover's maritime history. The concert is led by virtuoso violinist Peter Sheppard Skaerved.
