CURATOR
Alex Groves

The Carice Singers workshop
a new piece at Britten Pears Arts
This April, I'm returning to Britten Pears Arts for a residency with The Carice Singers to develop a new commission which they'll première later in the year. Inspired by the art, music and friendships of sculptor Barbara Hepworth and composers Priaulx Rainier and Michael Tippett, the piece will be a meditation on creativity, place and community.
