Sound Laboratory - Vingt Regards
Piano meets poetry in an exploration of faith and love.
A fascination with the human soul unites Cordelia Williams and Michael Symmons Roberts. Together they observe and explore universal themes of love, colour, passion, silence and faith through Olivier Messiaen’s Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus (‘Twenty contemplations of the infant Jesus’); written in occupied Paris in 1944.
A pianist of both power and sensitivity, Cordelia Williams has enthralled audiences around the world. Multi-award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts is known for his “amazing talent for intimacy on paper” The Guardian.
