Buzzing by the River, part of the Festival of Rivers

Wednesday 23 July

6pm start

FREE, the Great Hall

An *award-winning* celebration of the fascinating insects that flutter along the banks of the Ouse and Foss, in amusing performance poetry, projected images and music. Poems and photos by prize-winning York poet and photographer Anneliese Emmans Dean. Live music composed and performed by internationally acclaimed string player John Rayson. To be followed by a summer stroll along the Foss and Ouse, weather permitting. For all ages.

*Includes the world premiere of a poem about a beetle only found on the banks of the Ouse, a beetle so beautiful that the Victorians used to use its wing cases as sequins.*

Anneliese Emmans Dean has discovered the poetry in insects and knows a lot about them as well. She has the Buzz!' says Quentin Blake.

A partnership event with the City of York Council and the Festival of Rivers, with support from the Royal Entomological Society Lesley Goodman Award
