Kantos Chamber Choir: Brontë

I read for the same reason that I ate or drank; because it was a real craving of nature.Step into the world of the Brontë sisters with Kantos Chamber Choir in an evocative evening of choral music and spoken word inspired by the lives and imaginations of one of literatures most extraordinary families.Seen through the eyes of their friend and champion, Elizabeth Gaskell, this immersive hour-long performance transports audiences to the windswept Yorkshire moors.

Here Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë wrote stories filled with desire, devotion, depravity and despair, challenging the social expectations and constraints placed upon women of their time.Elizabeth Gaskell specialist, Dr Sherry Ashworth, joins Kantos as co-curator and presenter for this unique performance, bringing the sisters isolated yet fiercely creative world vividly to life.
