'I Sang In My Chains Like The Sea' – New settings of Dylan Thomas
Friday 17 May 2024, 6.45pm
Smethurst Studio, Worcester College
Tickets £5 - £15
This concert continues work on a project which commemorates the 70th anniversary of the death of Dylan Thomas by composing new settings of the Welsh poet’s work. With new compositions by David Lancaster, Sadie Harrison, Philip Grange, Rhian Samuel and Hayley Jenkins, the songs will be performed in Worcester's intimate studio space by Christopher O’Gorman (tenor) and David Pipe (piano). Professor John Goodby (Sheffield Hallam University), a leading authority on Dylan Thomas and editor of Thomas’ Collected Poems, has been collaborating with the composers and will introduce the poems at the concert.
