Experience a rare glimpse into the making of a major new choral work inspired by radical friendships, coastal landscapes and sculptural sound.

Composer Alex Groves joins us for a week-long residency to develop a new piece commissioned by The Carice Singers. Drawing inspiration from the creative bond between Sir Michael Tippett, Dame Barbara Hepworth and Priaulx Rainier, the work explores their shared love of bold ideas, movement, and the Cornish coast. Groves’ fascination with Hepworth’s sculptural forms has shaped his sonic imagination for years. Now, working closely with musicians and experts, he’s refining the score and testing ideas in real time.

Join us for an intimate evening of music and conversation as Groves lifts the curtain on his creative process and shares early glimpses of a work in progress.
