Crown of Light returned to the city once again this winter
UK - The hit of the 2009Durham Festival, Crown of Light -a stunning son-et-lumière that uses the extraordinary architecture of Durham Cathedral as its canvas - returned to the city once again this winter.

Created by Ross Ashton, with a soundtrack by Robert Ziegler and JohnDel'Nero, Crown of Light draws its visual material from inside the cathedral itself and from the Lindisfarne Gospels.

The PIGI projectors were supplied by entertainment lighting specialist White Light, continuing a collaboration with Ashton that has encompassed projects from Edinburgh to New York.

"White Light is a valued partner on my projects," Ashton notes. "They are helpful and accommodating, and work hard to make sure that everything goes well prior to delivery and during the operation of the kit."

"Ross's projects are always something to behold," comments White Light's hire director Dave Isherwood, "and we are always delighted to be part of them. As ever, we hope that our work in preparing the PIGIs will go unseen so that visitors to Durham can just marvel at the dramatic images magically spread across the width of the cathedral."
