HE KNEW NOT WHITHER HIS LONGING WAS CARRYING HIM.
We’ve waited a long time and with much anticipation for this meeting of minds – our internationally-recognized friends at PRISM will join us in a work created for this collaboration by one of the world’s most familiar composing names, Gavin Bryars. Known for evocative texts in sparse, pensive settings, Bryars' music has been described as “both uplifting and emotionally draining in equal measure.” (The Guardian)
