Join Iona artist Mhairi Killin and friends as they gather on the beach for an event bringing together science, music and poetry, to commemorate the 2018 strandings of 45 beaked whales around the Hebrides.

Part of the On Sonorous Seas project, commissioned by An Tobar and Mull Theatre and in partnership with the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, the afternoon will include: a performance by project composer and musician Fergus Hall, with vocals by Scottish Opera mezzo soprano Lea Shaw; a reading of the commissioned poem, Ossuary, by Mull-based artist Miek Zwamborn; talks by the Scottish Association for Marine Science and Tobermory-based Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust; and time for tea, cake and conversation about On Sonorous Seas, and the 2018 event which inspired Mhairi to create this multi-disciplinary project.

The On Sonorous Seas exhibition is at An Tobar until Sunday 28 August.

Meet at the North End gate at 2pm. Thereafter at Iona Village Hall. Includes a short walk over uneven ground. (In the event of wet weather, the event will take place in the Village Hall).

Tickets are Pay What You Decide. 50 percent of the proceeds will go to HWDT.
