The Brighton Festival programme was announced<br />
just before we went to press, and, as ever, there are<br />
several Festival events taking place east of our neighbouring<br />
city between May 5th and 27th.<br />
One of the real talking points - The Voice Project’s<br />
The Arms of Sleep – is taking place in Firle Place,<br />
Fri 11th - Sun 13th. This is a ten-hour choral work<br />
composed by Jonathan Baker, Helen Chadwick and<br />
Orlando Gough: punters are given a bed, ‘spending<br />
the night surrounded by sound and shadows, poised<br />
between sleep and wakefulness.’ It’s described as<br />
‘23rd-century vespers’. Pyjamas advised.<br />
We’ve been excited for a while about <strong>Lewes</strong> composer<br />
Ed Hughes’ score for Cesca Eaton’s film<br />
Cuckmere: A Portrait, which will premiere at the Attenborough<br />
Centre on the 5th of May: the music<br />
will be played live by the Orchestra of Sound and<br />
Light; we’ve seen a scene and it’s rather beautiful.<br />
The University of Sussex venue will also host Emma<br />
Rice’s The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk (May 9th - 12th,<br />
performed by Kneehigh, who brought the exuberant<br />
Tristan & Yseult to Brighton Dome last year), poet<br />
Lemn Sissay MBE’s life story Gold from the Stone<br />
(13th), and Gob Squad’s take on Dorian Gray, Creation<br />
(Pictures for Dorian).<br />
And, as ever, Glyndebourne are in on the act, with<br />
two performances, a Baroque programme from<br />
Belgian early music ensemble Vox Luminis (6th),<br />
and Songs of the Sea (13th) an afternoon of ‘evocative<br />
imagery and profound artistry’ featuring tenor Mark<br />
Padmore, pianist Julius Drake, baritone Roderick<br />
Williams and narrator Rory Kinnear. Get booking!
