Queer Nights at Nightingale: Fault Lines

Nightingale Gallery presents the inaugural Queer Nights at Nightingale, a finely curated festival under the artistic direction of internationally acclaimed pianist Coady Green.

Curated by composer Robert McIntyre, Aether Duo presents Fault Lines, an evening of flute and piano works by LGBTQIA+ composers Robert McIntyre, Sally Whitwell, Sam Williams and more – dealing both subtly and directly with elements pertaining to the lived queer experience and the environments and space we rightly take up.

With queerness often viewed (and experienced) as an epicentre of both tension and generative force, Fault Lines explores queer life through that geology. In a culture that treats straightness as the stable ground beneath us, queerness is often framed as deviation or rupture to that ground — something “across the line” that is disparate to the status quo. But fault lines aren’t anomalies: they are structures, pathways, and truth made visible at the surface. Across this curation, we invite you to listen for the crack, the shift, and the new landscape that follows – when acceptance becomes the normalisation of divergence.
