KANTOS CHAMBER CHOIR: THE WITCH TRIALS
Kantos Chamber Choir are back at Future Yard on Sunday 16th November with The Witch Trials.
A mirror to our callous hearts.
The infamous stories of the trials, torture and execution of witches are surely just abominable tales of a bygone era? Yet, with each and every unspeakable act we witness in the modern world, perhaps the Witch Trials tell us just as much about human nature today.
Music and spoken word sit alongside one another, offering an immersive reflection on the Lancashire Witch Trials of 1612. The programme gives us all a chance to grieve the senseless loss of life and confront some heavy truths while hearing some of the actual texts from the trials of 1612.
Featuring Camden Reeves’ haunting ‘Spells, Remedies & Potions’ – “think Black Sabbath and Metallica but for sopranos” – alongside music by Allegri, Byrd, Hildegard, Wainwright Johnston, and an arrangement of a 17th-Century Barbara Strozzi song by Ellie Slorach, this performance takes you on a captivating journey to a dark past and back again.
Doors open 4:30pm. Performance starts 5pm.
Tickets on sale now. Tickets on a ‘Pay What You Can’ basis.
