The evening's triple bill is composed of Richard Alston's iconic
Roughcut, probably his best-loved signature piece,
Lie of the Land and is completed by Alston's latest work,
A Ceremony of Carols, choreographed to Benjamin Britten's masterpiece for boys' voices and harp, sung and played live by the Canterbury Cathedral Choir conducted by David Flood and harpist Camilla Pay.
The music is of magisterial simplicity, conjuring up a rich world of rapt, devout adoration; the dance is a celebration of a sheer surge of breath, a pure stream of sound.
