This festival we’ve put together a series of sparkling musical gems, combining the historical corners of the neighbourhood with new and interesting sounds. In the Tower of London, open another chapter in JS Bach’s Orgelbüchlein; enjoy a miniature opera in a desk from Claudia Molitor; and tingle from pagan songs and spooky tales with folk songstress Becky Unthank. We welcome The Sixteen, The English Concert and La Nuova Musica to the area’s more iconic spaces, capturing winter’s mood with musical finery and raise a glass to The Hilliard Ensemble in a very special 40th birthday concert.

BUY ONE, DONATE ONE When buying your tickets, why not consider donating the value of another ticket? We give all donated tickets to local residents who would like to experience our festival for the first time. So far over 1500 tickets have been donated. Please help us share our festival with even more people.

Geraldine Pilgrim

Remember Me is opera at its most intimate; an immersive journey into an imaginary world, in a desk. Inspired by the antique desk Claudia Molitor inherited from her grandmother, Remember Me tells the story of an imagined friendship between doomed opera heroines, Dido and Eurydice. Complete with film, orchestral pit visit, interval refreshments and live performance, this playful and imaginative operatic curio celebrates every aspect of opera on a miniature scale.

Acclaimed for her evocative transformations of buildings and landscapes, artist Geraldine Pilgrim creates a new site-specific work that journeys across the historic Toynbee Hall and Studios, a dynamic centre of social, political and artistic activity since 1884. Within a landscape of music, image and performance Pilgrim crafts dialogues between the site’s past and future. Traces of lives are glimpsed in corners and windows, while footsteps echo to the sound of the different voices of the contemporary East End.

Running time: 50min

Running time: 45min

A Cryptic production by Claudia Molitor for Sonica, co-commissioned by hcmf//, supported by PRS for Music Foundation and RVW Trust.

An Artsadmin commission produced in partnership with Spitalfields Music and Toynbee Hall. Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
