FIELD

NOTES is our salon series of immersive evenings in music, film and ideas. Presented and hosted by special guests and industry thought leaders in music, film and ideas.

Each night is curated as a whole experience: a record listened to deeply, a film seen differently, an idea opened up in company. Intimate, considered and alive, NOTES offers a level of cultural experience unique to Circle & Star.

What to expect

A night in each room.

SLEEVENOTES
Listen · the record
Side A

Jonathan Wingate dives deep into the making, the meaning and the methods.

Side B

Then a listen to the tracks that defined us culturally — and transcend time.

REELNOTES
See · the picture
Part One

A special guest opens up the world of the film — the details and back-stories you won’t find on a Wiki.

Part Two

Then the picture, whole — lights down, phones away, watched in company.

FIELDNOTES
Think · the idea

A thinker takes us on a journey of discovery and insight — plus the odd special surprise.
