London: Voices from the Edge
Voices from the Edge traces a powerful arc of spiritual, sonic, and social extremity, where the human voice becomes a vehicle for transcendence, protest, and radical presence. From Hildegard von Bingen‘s ecstatic medieval mysticism and Caroline Shaw’s deconstructed language play to Julius Eastman’s explosive invocation of Joan of Arc, each work pushes vocal expression beyond its limits. In this staged programme Voices from the Edge captures these moments where music meets the margins—historical, emotional, and political—and sings defiantly from them.
