Waves of Wonder Presents: Cornelia Live at Erin Arts Centre
Erin Arts Centre, Isle of Man, IM9 6LD
Friday 20th March 2026
An evening of close listening, shared atmosphere, and artist-led storytelling - this concert invites audiences to come closer and truly listen. Waves of Wonder is proud to present local sound-and-songstress Cornelia with her new live band, live on March 20th at Erin Arts Centre. This special concert marks Cornelia’s first live appearance since making the Isle of Man her permanent home in 2023, a milestone moment and her first island show since relocating. She is joined by Manx artist Foxtrap (aka Helen Morris), performing a stripped-back, piano-led acoustic set, all within the intimate and welcoming surroundings of Erin Arts Centre, Port Erin.
Cornelia
Cornelia is an artist known for her emotionally rich songwriting and immersive sound worlds, blending contemporary electronic textures with live instrumentation and intimate vocals. Her work explores themes of transformation, stillness, and human connection, often drawing inspiration from nature and inner landscapes. Having collaborated with and sharing creative lineage alongside artists such as Portico Quartet and Bonobo, Cornelia’s music sits at the crossroads of ambient, art-pop, and cinematic songwriting. This performance marks the beginning of a new chapter, as she presents her material with a full live band.
Foxtrap
For this special stripped-back performance, Foxtrap reimagines their hypnotic electro-indie sound in an intimate acoustic setting. Paired with rich piano arrangements and soulful, soaring vocals, Helen Morris draws out the emotional core of the band’s songs blending haunting lyricism with delicate harmonic nuance. From evocative ballads to re-interpreted favourites, this performance reveals a new, vulnerable side of Foxtrap’s music, highlighting both the depth of the songwriting and the expressive power of live voice and keys.
Documentary Screening
Alongside the live performance, the evening will feature a special screening of a short documentary filmed by Ciara Hardisty and produced by Waves of Wonder. The film offers an intimate glimpse into the creative journey behind Cornelia’s new release Listen, tracing both the emotional development of the song and the visual storytelling process of its accompanying music video, created by Lester Film Co.
At its heart, the documentary is a testament to friendship, trust, and the power of local collaboration, showing how shared vision and community effort can give rise to cinematic work of real depth and beauty.
