From the website of Genevieve Lacey:

‘Consort of the Moon imagines a new choral ritual, built from the echoes of an ancient melody.

It’s a new sound work that I’m creating with Erkki Veltheim and a brilliant team of collaborators. Consort of the Moon transforms a haunting, ancient melody into an elemental experience of communal listening, both to each other, and to the wild earth.

The work layers live and hyper-real electroacoustic music to usher in a hypnotic, unifying ceremony. Audiences are welcome to participate, or simply sit and listen to a drifting, environmental soundscape that alters the collective sense of space and time.

This twilight gathering is inspired by the oldest known piece of notated song — an ode to Nikkal, Goddess of Orchards and Consort of the Moon. The music echoes the calls of owls, bats, and cicadas — blurring lines between human and animal realms in a nocturnal metamorphosis.

We’ll premiere this new work for Rising, June 10-14. We couldn’t be more excited to be celebrating its birth in a place and community that’s home and dear to us, after years of dreaming and working on it. Tickets are on sale here for the June season.’

Three newer pieces of music theatre to be performed in the Antechapel at New College. I will be performing Samuel Hogarth’s 2003 piece for countertenor and piano, ‘The Evils of Tobacco’, alongside pianist Jamie Andrews. Hogarth’s piece, a humorous piece, is based on Chekhov’s ‘On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco’ (1886). A fabulous piece!
