It was a great pleasure for HCS Members and Gold Friends to see composer Cecilia McDowall and poet Kate Wakeling in Henley recently to give us a fascinating insight into the composition process for The Ice is Listening, commissioned by HCS to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Check out the video of the evening here: https://youtu.be/RAoPpuG60cU
At just over 30 minutes long, it describes the inspiration behind the piece – and much more – including lovely anecdotes about Cecilia and Kate’s own development as composer and writer respectively.
And, tickets still available for the World Premiere of The Ice is Listening, in a concert including Vivaldi Gloria and Bach Mass in G minor, 7.30pm St Mary’s, Henley, tickets here
