Renaissance madrigals and new music by Joanna Ward form the core of a rich, emotionally charged musical encounter – part performance, part installation – with this acclaimed vocal consort.

Face to Face (Britten Pears Arts co-commission / first performance) (45’)

Featuring music by Joanna Ward (Britten Pears Arts co-commission) and Renaissance composers Casulana, Gesualdo, Meldert, Cipriano de Rore, Rossi and Giaches de Wert

The soundscape and visuals present a ghostly tissue of movement, breath, and fragmented utterings. The singing is enhanced by sound-design and visuals which help project an intimate feeling of our closest human interactions.
