dream.risk.sing is a programme brilliantly conceived by Lana Bode and soprano Samantha Crawford. The programme elevates the voices of modern women, telling stories that are not traditionally related in song. It includes the new song cycle Crossing Faultlines, specially written for this programme by composer Charlotte Bray and poet Nicki Jackowska, exploring women’s professional experiences of mentorship, discrimination and ambition. The concert also features new arrangements of songs from Judith Weir’s orchestral song cycle woman.life.song, as well as works by Helen Grime and Michele Brourman.
