Last term I had the amazing opportunity to take a performance course with Tom Bogdan learning and performing Meredith Monk’s beautiful piece of work, “A Celebration Service”. During the CAPA opening a group of women got to sing a song from it entitled “Quarry Weave”. It begins in unison and goes through several transformations before finally culminating in a challenging 8-part round. It was such a joy to sing this music once again, especially in the reverberant space of the Lens, a small, echo-y, chamber in CAPA’s courtyard. A small section of our singing was captured on video.
