“I read for the same reason that I ate or drank; because it was a real craving of nature.” Join Kantos Chamber Choir as we examine the lives and passions of the mysterious Brontë sisters through the eyes of their friend and supporter, Elizabeth Gaskell.
Kantos will evoke the wild, exposed landscapes of a lonely existence on the moors for three exceptional women, who found escape and freedom in their imagined worlds. An hour-long programme of choral music and spoken word will immerse us in their isolated hilltop hive of creativity from where the sisters wove their intricate stories of desire, devotion, depravity and despair.
Elizabeth Gaskell expert, Sherry Ashworth, joins us to curate and present the programme for this unique performance.
These events will include BSL Interpretation by Paul Whittaker.
In partnership with Library Live, Elizabeth Gaskell’s House & Brontë Parsonage Museum.
