Kantos Chamber Choir: Brontë

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 literature’s 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.

This event will feature a pre-concert talk at 7.30pm. The concert will run for 75 minutes with no interval.
