Out Of The Deep | Alchemy X Josh Dema
About
Out of the Deep is Alchemy Consort’s immersive new work for a cappella choir and solo cello, in collaboration with cellist Josh Dema. Exploring concepts of descent, transition and transcendence—spatially, sonically and emotionally—the performance unfolds across multiple levels in the striking architectural setting of the Newman & St Mary's Colleges' Academic Centre. With music resonating from above and below, enveloping the audience in shifting layers of tone and depth, Out of the Deep stages the repertoire's themes in concrete architectural space, opening out the experience of musicality across the vertical and horizontal planes, as sound and structure intertwine. The diverse program spans the gamut from despairing lament to soaring ethereality, and from reimaginings of traditional Gregorian and Anglican chant, through Renaissance and Baroque masters including Gibbons & Bach, to major contemporary choral composers such as Ola Gjeilo and Eriks Ešenvalds. Highlights include John Rutter’s stirring 'Out of the Deep,' William Barton’s extraordinary 'Kalkadunga Yurdu,' and Christian Forshaw’s haunting setting of Psalm 121, reimagined with cello improvisation.Please contact us (alchemyconsort@gmail.com) if you have accessibility requirements.
