THE MYSTIC EAST

Despite being primarily about music in the county of Cambridgeshire, we're not above venturing a little further when circumstances demand it. And demand it they do. Undoubtedly one of the big hits of last summer was Acoustic Triangle's performance at Peterhouse, Cambridge – and this year they're back with a 14 date tour of 'some of England's most awe-inspiring spaces'. This includes abbeys and cathedrals all around the country, getting underway at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Bury St Edmunds on Friday 16 May. The trio are joined by six world-class string players – the Sacconi Strings – and will be playing new works by award-winning composers Tim Garland and Gwilym Simcock which are individually ‘choreographed’ for each building in order to create a series of unique performances. The Guardian described them thus: 'Adventurous, eclectic, frequently breathtaking… undisputed masters of the game.' Enough said.
