Tell me when you get home
2022-02-06 19:45 - 22:00 | Purcell Room – Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, London, SE1 8XX, United Kingdom
Ella sings the world premiere of Alicia Jane Turner‘s piece Tell me when you get home with the London Sinfonietta.
‘Alicia Jane Turner’s Tell me when you get home is a theatrical and sensory piece for solo soprano and ensemble that explores gendered experiences of walking alone at night. The immersive staging, influenced by Turner’s background in sound and lighting design, incorporates elements of patriarchal representations of femininity in mythology and horror to take us on a subversive journey into our fear of the dark.’

Alicia Jane Turner Tell me when you get home (London Sinfonietta commission, world premiere)
