Trigger warnings

This project is based around refugees and asylum seekers, so there will be some darker and possibly triggering subject matter including reference to death.

‘Asylum’ presents a reflective programme representing the history of asylum seekers and the culture of displacement in refugee communities through music. Led by Doraly Gill (cello and voice), this performance will include music to be performed by singer and cellist simultaneously as a means to further explore the boundaries of storytelling through music. From Hungarian folk songs to Henryk Gorecki, including two new works by composers Luca Zucchi and Sarah Henderson, this recital aims to encourage reflection and discussion on our socio-political age.
