About the event
“Odes to the Ocean” (OTTO) was conceived by professional musician Catherine Shrubshall in the early part of 2023, during a 6 week creative retreat in Walton where she stayed in a flat overlooking the ocean - she wrote music inspired by stories of the sea and those whose lives depended on it.

This event is free but we would encourage you to support the musicians and performers either on the day or by buying one of their wonderful digital albums on Bandcamp: Beauty Beneath: essence of calm or With Love ....from Her&Her, each at £7.00.
Catherine collaborated with composer/producer Richard Kett at “Dave Studiios” in Woodbridge to make a 45 minute soundtrack from this material, and with film maker Sally Child to create a cinematic interpretation of the music (all filmed on location in Walton). You can get a taste of the soundtrack…
