Rubiks Collective and Jane Sheldon

About

Experience an evening of music that is intimate and unexpectedly moving.

Praised for her mesmerising emotional truth, acclaimed vocalist Jane Sheldon and Rubiks Collective explore what it means to love, hope and navigate an increasingly complex world.

Featuring three bold works by leading contemporary composers, Laura Bowler's award-winning ‘Wicked Problems’ pairs voice and bass flute in a meditation on humanity's greatest challenges, and our narrow odds of getting them right. David Lang's ‘How to Pray’ draws on the psalms, an atheist's take on the shape of prayer, its rhythms, its pacing, and its quiet hope for an answer. Thomas Meadowcroft's ‘Love Songs without Subjects’ sets French philosopher Lacan's writing on love and desire, threading unlikely pairs through its vocal line, ‘Dido's Lament’ beside ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,’ ‘Michelle’ beside ‘My Funny Valentine.’
