Upcoming Events

‘Juxtavoices’

Bishop’s House, Norton Lees Lane 3.00pm and 4.00pm

Juxtavoices will be using the actual fabric of the building and its mysterious sounds and spaces in order to create an unforgettable sonic experience for the audience. The result is a very interesting experience - very atmospheric and could possibly be disturbing to younger children. This is singing on the edge of not-singing or vice versa, a music only previously heard in a sound-poet's dreams. The group enjoys unusual acoustic spaces - furnace floor or bear pit or library stairwell - as well as churches and more conventional concert venues. It hopes to create a chord which will startle the ghost of Thomas Tallis.

Directed by Martin Archer and Alan Halsey Juxtavoices uniquely combines the outer reaches of improvised music and innovative poetry. Admission free.
