Their debut public performance was at the Other Voices festival in Cardigan\, Wales\, at the end of 2022. \nTickets available here.

The group brings together 6 trailblazing artists that hold exploratory music at the heart of their practice. Each member is fervently active in the performance and dissemination of new music.\nThe ensemble features players from groups including Eighth Blackbird\, stargaze\, Crash Ensemble and Ergodos. \nEqually at ease with complexity as they are in graphic scoring and improvisation\, Stone Drawn Circles are a collective of risk-takers and sonic explorers.
