About this Event
Dorset poets create short poetry that, in collaborative workshops, is shaped into expressive solo vocal lines with support from composers Sadie Harrison and Marc Yeats and singers Jessica Summers and Ed Bersey. These original works shine alongside two new piano song cycles by the composers — powerful, evocative pieces drawing on Marc Yeats’ Collected Poems Volume 1, offering varied and innovative musical interpretations.
Acclaimed pianist Tomas Klement and sound artist David Rogers (Electricbackroom Studio) enrich the performances with dynamic accompaniment and atmospheric South West-inspired soundscapes.
A beautiful fusion of poetry, voice, and piano — an unforgettable evening of fresh Dorset creativity!
Supported by Arts Council England, Dorset Council, Hinrichsen Foundation, and Vaughan Williams Foundation.
