Historic sites of St Helens are set to host a unique choral performance this spring, devised by composer Verity Standen, performed by local male singers.
About
REFRAIN will be a roaming performance throughout the George Street area. Ordinarily closed buildings, including the Friends Meeting House and the Masonic Hall, will open their doors to singers and audiences to explore. Audiences will gather in the grounds of the oldest building in St Helens (Friends Meeting House) and be invited to roam this historic area, brought to life by song.
Award-winning composer and choir leader Verity Standen, with local men has responded to the history of school teacher, Ernest Everett. Everett was a conscientious objector, tried and sentenced in St Helens. In REFRAIN, his story, symbolic of many more cases of this kind, is given voice once again.
All ages welcome
REFRAIN is produced by Situations with Verity Standen Projects, in partnership with Heart of Glass, St. Helens
