About the event

Krakatoa: Volcanic Cataclysm, Shockwaves & Sunsets
Renowned Vienna-trained violinist and composer Rupert Guenther opens his performance at The York Festival with Krakatoa: Volcanic Cataclysm, Shockwaves & Sunsets.

Inspired by the devastating 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, this powerful solo work unfolds across 15 improvised movements. Through expressive soundscapes and dramatic musical storytelling, Guenther captures the chaos, beauty, and atmospheric aftermath of one of history’s most cataclysmic natural events. The result is an immersive listening experience that blends historical narrative with deep emotional resonance.

Rupert Guenther is a Vienna‑trained, Perth‑based violinist‑composer renowned for crafting immersive, site‑specific works that blend improvisation, electronics, and evocative soundscapes. With over 35 original albums released since 2003 and performances across renowned venues like the Sydney Opera House and Guildhall Festival London, his music consistently channels the “spirit of place” through deeply emotive storytelling.
