During her Britten Pears Residency in September 2025, singer and songwriter Olivia Chaney spent a week exploring Purcell music through a new lens. Joined by collaborators Jordan Hunt and James McVinnie, Olivia created new interpretations of Purcell’s work that have since gone on to be recorded as an album, planted in her folk and contemporary classical roots.
