Where do we go in our dreams? As dusk drapes the world in velvet shadows, sleep whispers its invitation. It is here, in the quiet hours between night and dawn, where this music lives, embarking on a quest to discover what happens when we close our eyes. Journey through improvised soundscapes, poetry, and choral music by composers including Eric Whitacre, Laura Mvula, Vaughan Williams, and a new commission by Kristina Arakelyan to unveil the hidden landscapes of our dreams and the mysteries of the subconscious mind. We also welcome members of the RNCM Research Department and the University of Manchester, who will study how our brain responds to live music during this event. They will give a short demonstration of their process before capturing and processing live brain wave data in real time and projecting it behind the choir, illustrating the extraordinary power of music. Kantos are a trailblazing vocal ensemble, performing at the cutting edge of the creative scene. They produce vocal performances shaped by the music and stories they believe in. Performing music by everyone from 11th century visionary saints to genre-bending, experimental rock stars, Kantos prides itself on championing contemporary and well-known choral music.
