4.30-6pm in the Mansion

Curated by Jeanice Brooks, University of Southampton, 'Flights of Sound' presents an extravagant ending to the 2012 Biennial.

Contemporary harpsichordist Jane Chapman will join forces with guitarist Tom McKinney, pianist Harvey Davies and the Ensemble Pleyel during the final Biennial weekend. Taking inspiration from Aura Satz's Music Room installation, the musicians will treat the entire house as sounding frame for an exploration of new and old musical fantasy.

The programme features a new collaboration between Jane Chapman and Aura Satz
and world premieres of works by composers Larry Goves and Leo Grant, as well as eighteenth-century music from Tatton Park’s outstanding historic musical collection.

This Saturday', Biennial artist Sarah Woodfine, working with Knutsford Children's Centre users, presents the culmination of 'Voyager', with a parade/performance featuring a specially decorated chariot and props made for the event! 

On Sunday 1 July, the Biennial curators will take a tour of the site with visitors and aviation historian Jim Rait will lead a tour of the Parkland, focussing on its legacy of experimental and military flight. The estate's last Lord Egerton was a flying enthusiast and had his own airstrip on the site. During World War II, nearly 400,000 descents were made at Tatton by troops preparing for deployment into occupied Europe, under the direction of what would become No 1 Parachute School.

Working with watercolour and found objects, you will have tutorials with the artists and one lucky winner will receive a signed one-off handmade mug commemorating the day and Juneau Projects' work for the Biennial, Gleaners of the Infocalypse! 

The event is free, but we do need to know numbers, so please let us know if you are hoping to take part by emailing here! 

The HLF grant will be used towards a series of projects sharing the avionic history of the site with Biennial audiences. Volunteers, community groups and schools will all benefit from this investment and the Biennial team is deeply grateful for the support HLF has offered!

For the North West, we have appointed Pointfive, who are Jonathan Woodward and Steven Thorpe, based in Liverpool. Their proposal for a Biennial kiosk, based on the 'Black Box' flight recorder, will work as both a meeting and information point and an experiential artwork exploring the passage of time.

For the Cheshire Recent Graduates, Manchester-based collective Ultimate Holding Company has been selected to produce a new, collaborative work based on the life and work of Dame Barbara Cartland and her tenacious relationship to the enigmatic 'Colditz Cock', which will be reconstructed at Tatton Park for the Biennial.
