Perspective Collective: 'Dark Places'

Part of the Perspective Collective - 2023 Series

Add to my Calendar 24-06-2023 14:30 24-06-2023 16:30 36 Perspective Collective: 'Dark Places' The Perspective Collective invites you on a journey into some dark places through song and ‘opera.’ These include not only physical spaces, but the capacity for darkness within the self as well. Along the way we might encounter a dark forest, a prolific serial killer, a recluse trapped by unsettling visions, and a wanderer trying to escape haunting memories. At the end of the road, we may encounter the devil himself in Stephanie Leotsakos’s mini-opera adaptation of Young Goodman Brown. Based on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, it is the tale of a pious villager in Puritan New England who ventures deep into the woods one night, and discovers a sinister secret that will call into question everything he believes in. Join us – if you dare! Based in the New York/Philadelphia metropolitan area, the Perspective Collective is a group of classically inclined musicians dedicated to presenting performances of both new and seasoned works that tie into the events and sensitivities of our world today.  For this performance, singers Rachael Basescu, Erin Brittain, Grant Mech and pianist Patrick Fink will be joined by California-based baritone Travis Sherwood.   St Anne's Arts and Community Centre, Barnstaple DD/MM/YYYY
