‘Nothing Like The Sun’ reprises in Leeds and London
Gavin Friday will be joining the Gavin Bryars Ensemble this summer for two more performances of the Sonnet Project in Leeds and in London.
Gavin Bryars’ through-composed score, ‘Nothing Like the Sun’, weaves together eight of Shakespeare’s sonnets on the subjects of time, memory and music.
The project also features five sonnet settings by guest composers including Antony Heggarty (Antony and the Johnsons) and Mira Calix. Gavin will be performing his own setting of Sonnet 40 as well as narrating Bryars’ 40-minute composition.
Nothing Like The Sun was commissioned by Opera North and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
