DOORS 1545
Merope on 1615!

A Japanese vocal performer hailing from Shiretoko in Hokkaido and now based in London, Hatis Noit takes her name from Japanese folklore; meaning the stem of the lotus flower, which connects the living and the spirit worlds: “a voice you only need to hear once and you’ll never forget it” — Mary Anne Hobbs

Merope explore a contemporary vision of ancient Baltic music. Their roots lie deep in the soil of Lithuania's folk songs, but elements gleaned from jazz, traditional, ambient music, 20th century minimalism and kosmische are interwoven into celestial and often moving compositions.

Premiering at BNM, ‘The Palmhouse’ is Bristol-based artist and composer Yas Clarke’s new acapella work for seven voices. As voices and meanings slip and overlap, a new text, with its own mystical intention, materialises from the interplay of the different voices. Performed by artists Harry Burgess, Felix Dobson, Jo Hellier, Georgia Cusack, Verity Standen, Ben Kulvichit and Hannah Sullivan.
