Opus Anglicanum with Zeb Soanes, narrator

In this special festival event, the five unaccompanied male singers of Opus Anglicanum and their narrator Zeb Soanes present an atmospheric programme of original commissions from two of the UK’s leading female composers: a complete reading of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic Rime of the Ancient Mariner with music by Lynne Plowman, and Sally Beamish’s powerful Sea Psalm, setting an account from the only surviving officer of the destroyer HMS Duchess, which was sunk on 12 December 1939. Come and enjoy this memorable concert in the evocative setting of Pakefield Church, from where you can gaze out over the great and wide sea...
