Poetry reading by Alice Oswald has been postponed, replacement poets tba; music by Chris Davies and Beth Allen
This is a free event and all are welcome. There is no need to book but please arrive in good time for a prompt start.
Freelance musician/performer Chris Davies works mainly with visual theatre and dance, and is interested in music as a means of promoting a sense of well-being. Beth Allen, creative voice specialist and Sacred Sounds choir director for John Tavener at Manchester International Festival, says that breath is at the core of her work.
The music on the theme of “breath” that Chris and Beth will perform was commissioned originally by the National Aspergillosis Centre, which treats patients with fungal disease of the lungs (www.nacpatients.org.uk) and was premiered at the Open the Windows Poetry and Medicine Reading in October 2013.
