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 https://t.co/BoSzLm2QDX

Our Mother review – reimagination of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater has a timeless directness and simplicity https://t.co/yqHtiITyBa

[Phil Barrett @backtobachagain]

So pleased with this production ☺️ massive shout-out to composer @alexjosephmills 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 🙏

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.
