Concert: In Place – a song cycle for voice and ensemble

  • Wed 15 Nov 2017
  • 8:00 pm
  • £8.00
BUY TICKETS share

In Place explores a sense of place in the British Isles; how it informs our cultural identity; shapes our language and dialects; provides both solace and stimulation, and contains histories both universal and personal. It speaks to all corners of the British Isles; Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and England. It also crosses art-form boundaries.

Composer Colin Riley is collaborating with writers for whom place is a recurring theme – Robert Macfarlane, Paul Farley, Selina Nwulu, Nick Papadimitriou, Jackie Morris, Daljit Nagra, Richard Skelton and Autumn Richardson. This specially created writing will form the core of a set of songs for vocalist Melanie Pappenheim and ensemble:
> bass guitar Ruth Goller
> piano/keyboards Kate Halsall
> viola Nic Pendlebury
> percussion Stephen Hiscock

The UK tour starts in November with the premiere at Sound Festival, Scotland, with other Autumn dates on the In Place website. Buy tickets here.

Colin Riley is commissioned by sound as part of the PRS for Music Foundation’s Beyond Borders programme which is a co-commissioning and touring programme run in partnership with Creative Scotland, Arts Council of Wales, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. In Place is also supported by Arts Council England.
