A swirling, shape-shifting explosion of song!
Wednesday 7 October // 7:30pm // Gloucester Cathedral // Pay-what-you-can
What is it?
Verity Standen brings Everything Slips to Gloucester Cathedral for a one-of-a-kind live performance.
11 exceptional singers will fill the cathedral with beautifully fierce, unaccompanied voices, rich harmonies and playful improvisation.
Expect to be surrounded by powerful voices – from soft, intimate moments to explosions of song. With the performers moving around you, you’ll be swept up in music that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.
Ahead of the performance, the company will be working with community groups and local schools across Gloucester, with their creativity becoming part of the event.
Come and experience this extraordinary live performance in one of Gloucester’s most iconic spaces.
