An evening celebrating dance and movement in music. Let the music transport you to a country dance through Veljo Tormis’ Ingrian Evenings; and allow you to delve into the world of poet Virginia Hamilton Adair in Gwyneth Walker’s An Hour to Dance.

Join us for an evening of song and dance (and a little town gossip) in an Ingrian village square. Our transport is Veljo Tormis’ (1930-2017) symphonically textured choral work based on authentic folk material, which was inspired by his fascination with lost and disappearing cultures.
