A stunning and profound musical project from The Clerks.
Live music integrated with a special audio collage, reflecting the themes of loss and commemoration, performed in spaces of unique atmosphere and splendour.
Concert duration: one hour; because of the unusual nature of the venues, and the way in which the spaces will be used, only limited seating can be provided. It is recommended that tickets are purchased in advance. Refreshments are available at most venues (please contact us for specific information).
An unforgettable soundscape of words and music on the themes of death and remembrance, featuring ancient chant from the Mass of the Dead, motets by Josquin Desprez, Guillaume Dufay and Jean Ockeghem and a new work by composer and sound artist Antony Pitts.
