Open rehearsal - This Kind of Life

This is a rare opportunity to get behind-the-scenes with Halcyon. Watch the artists exploring the nuances and decisions that shape the final presentation, hear the conversations that take place and experience how a piece is built in rehearsal.

This Kind of Life is a delightful piece by Elliott Gyger - full of wonderful verbatim conversations and recipes to make your mouth water. For soprano, mezzo-soprano, clarinet, cello, piano and harp, it sets extracts of letters between American chef Julia Child and her friend Avis de Voto and features some wonderful verbatim correspondance and even a few deliciously evocative recipes… with plenty of butter and garlic!

As we head into the studio next week, every ticket sold will go directly towards the recording costs. You can also donate directly to support the project by clicking the ticket link and selecting the Donate option.

Artists:

Susannah Lawergren soprano, Jenny Duck-Chong mezzo-soprano and artistic director, Jarred Mattes clarinets, James Larsen cello, Esther Lukins harp and Jo Allan piano with Elizabeth Scott conductor
