Join us for some very special music

This Friday I’m performing again in ‘Echolocate’, an evening of music in the dark, curated by Michael Sharp. I’ve written a new choral piece; it’s part spoken word and part music – bit of an experiment! Also inc. Waba, @RosieTurton, and Mathilde Bataillé. ra.co/events/1790637…

George Jeffreys was born around 1610 and composed English sacred music that sounds like it could have been written in Rome or Venice. A lost voice in English music history - until now. youtu.be/I0MUUDGXNzw?si… Solomon's Knot 🎻🤘 English Heritage William Whitehead

Our Mother review – reimagination of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater has a timeless directness and simplicity theguardian.com/music/2024/mar…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Guardian Tim Ashley writes that “everything is done with such commitment and sincerity that you cannot help but be moved by it.” OUR MOTHER runs for two more nights StoneNest theguardian.com/music/2024/mar…

So pleased with this production ☺️ massive shout-out to composer Alex Mills | composer whose beautiful interludes for Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater helped us to explore, express, and emphasise the text’s universal and moving themes, most importantly: compassion for others 🙏

Last yr, for the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd, I asked Kieran Brunt to write new music inspired by Byrd. The result was his glorious Facta est deserta... and then he only went and wrote a whole album in tribute to Byrd - out this month shardsvoices.bandcamp.com/album/byrd-song

‘Incredibly moving’ is *exactly* what this is. A must listen 👏💚⬇️
