The Grand Shaft with Lucy Humphries

  • The Grand Shaft Drop Redoubt Road Dover, England, CT17 United Kingdom (map)

This hour-long concert will explore the unique acoustics of The Grand Shaft, through solo trumpet works and improvisation. From imagined conversations to brittle textural writing, through meditative plainchant-like melodies and haunting vocalisations, this will be an immersive experience in how sound carries and envelops the listener in such a fascinating space.

The programme will feature music by Peter Maxwell Davies, Toru Takemitsu, and Filippos Raskovic - all of which explore the ideas of how sound travels in unique spaces, sometimes beyond the veil of what we can see. Louise Drewett has also written a piece specifically for the unique acoustics of The Grand Shaft, inspired by its structure, history and surroundings. 

There will be two concerts: 2:30pm 0r 4:30pm click link below to book tickets
