Hear and Now [23/04/2016]
- Synopsis
- Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Tom Service introduce adventurous 21st century responses to Shakespeare’s work. Sound artist Martin Parker and viola da gamba player Liam Byrne take music and texts from 1616 and remix them for 2016. Saxophonist Trish Clowes and her trio improvise an anniversary homage using Shakespearean phrases. Plus a performance by contemporary music group Apartment House and a newly commissioned work from Matthew Herbert based on texts from Macbeth. Recorded in front of an audience earlier the same day at Shakespeare’s former school, King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon.
