Anna Dennis sings the part of Mary Magdalene in this new retelling of the passion story from Mary Magdalene's perspective.
Inspired by the non-canonical Gospel of Mary, poetry by Ruth Fainlight, this powerful three-part work blends period instruments with electric guitar. It reimagines Mary as a commanding female figure - described by the composer as “a wise woman in the desert, this kind of raw oracle”.
This work will be premiered with the Dunedin Concert at the Barbican Hall on 24th March.
