The 20th annual summer concert series of new, neglected and unfamiliar music, at St Mary-at-Hill in the City of London.

Tickets: From £11.50 | Book Tickets

Our second concert of the series features soprano Juliet Fraser performing a grand and atmospheric work by Newton Armstrong, with text by American marine biologist Rachel Carson. We pair this with the interior music of one of Cassandra Miller’s Tracery pieces, co-composed with Juliet. We also feature a work for singing cellist by Danish composer Niels Rønsholdt played by Kirke Gross, a classic tape work of speech and vocal sound by Lily Greenham, and a moment of serenity by Leo Chadburn. The evening begins with a tribute to our friend Tom Johnson, a hugely supportive presence for us over the last twenty years.
