The Keening (with Olivia Graham)

On the first day in November, the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest. As dusk descends on one of York’s oldest churches, ancient songs of loss and mourning echo in this place where time ever stands still. In the humble glow of candlelight, Celtic folk musician Olivia Graham reverently serenades with traditional and original music woven together with the tales and traditions of this most sacred night.
