Ahead of a performance of Deirdre Gribbin's string quartet, 'Hearing your Genes Evolve' at the opening concert of Moving on Music's 2019 Night Music series on 14 February, the composer speaks to CMC about the work, which came about as a result of a year-long collaboration in 2014 with geneticist Dr Sarah Teichmann.
Based on DNA patterns from the 1000 Genomes project, 'Hearing your Genes Evolve', aims to demystify the scientific principles behind genetics and make them more meaningful to a wider audience.
