La Locura
Invisible Threads / Fils Invisibles
What links us through time, space, hope and dreams?
World premiere of Emma-Ruth Richards' Three Rilke Songs, commissioned for La Locura, interwoven with medieval, Baroque, and modern reflections.
Across eight centuries of music, this programme moves in cycles through wisdom, memory, childhood, motherhood, and farewell. Song, ancient chant, and folk tradition echo one another across time, woven together by an invisible thread drawn through Emma-Ruth Richards' cycle, which shapes the programme as inhale, suspension, and release.
Performers:
Ana Beard Fernández soprano
Iain MacLeod Hall recorders, cello
Oliver Wass triple harp
Louise Anna Duggan percussion
