Cloud Chamber: Gavin Greenaway and Caroline Dale

About this event

Cloud Chamber is the newly formed duo of Gavin Greenaway (piano) and Caroline Dale (cello), internationally renowned performers whose careers span more than 30 years at the forefront of film and concert music. Inhabiting a space between traditional ‘classical’ music and the neo-classical music of today, Cloud Chamber make music which is melodic and lyrical – ‘stories without words’ full of emotion and colour. Emmy award winning composer, Gavin Greenaway has conducted over 200 film scores (Gladiator, How to Train Your Dragon, Wicked, Interstellar) and orchestral recordings for Sir George Martin and Sir Paul McCartney. He has composed music for the theatre, TV and film, as well as the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, songs with Bryan Adams and two solo albums of his own piano music. From 2018 to 2024 he was conductor of “The World of Hans Zimmer” arena show, leading the orchestra, choir and soloists in over 100 performances throughout Europe. Caroline Dale has a wide-ranging career both in the studio and on the live stage, performing with: the Nigel Kennedy and Balanescu Quartets, the English Chamber Orchestra, David Gilmour, David Gray, U2, and Sinead O’Connor; as concerto soloist with the LPO, RPO and RLPO; featuring on film scores, such as Atonement, Hilary and Jackie (about the life of Jacqueline du Pre) and Truly Madly Deeply. Her solo album Such Sweet Thunder combines classical repertoire with her own compositions.
