This innovative project focuses on seven contemporary composers and their choral settings of works by the Dymock Poets. The composers, whose paths in different ways touch those of the poets, include: Kerensa Briggs, Liz Dilnot Johnson, Fraz Ireland, Esther Kay, Robert Peate, Simon Peberdy and Susannah Self. The performance will be introduced by the Friends of the Dymock Poets and will also feature the winner of our Young Composers Competition. Abercrombie, Brooke, Drinkwater, Frost, Gibson and Thomas will be brought to life through a contemporary lens distilling sound and sense; sense and sound.
