About this concert

Elaine Mitchener, 鈥渢he UK鈥檚 boldest operatic voice鈥 (The Guardian), is an experimental vocalist, movement artist and composer whose work encompasses improvisation, contemporary music theatre and performance art. 鈥淐oming to see what I do, you don鈥檛 sit back,鈥 Mitchener warns. Sometimes is an electronic work for tape and tenor by a truly original American compositional voice, Olly Wilson - a moving interpretation of the Black spiritual 鈥楽ometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child鈥. Mitchener reflects and responds to the circumstances which birthed the centuries-old hymn 鈥楢mazing Grace鈥 and its contemporary resonances. And in Unknown Tongue II, there鈥檚 an exploration of where Mitchener鈥檚 voice leads her and the dialogues it has with itself.

鈥淎ny attempts at categorisation are doomed to fail鈥 (The Wire)
