Overview

Metaphors of dark journeys and night-time pilgrimages towards the light of day are deeply rooted in the great heritage of world literature, art and music.

Christopher Ainslie’s programme explores the many layers of meaning contained within everything from the simple folk poetry of ‘I am a poor wayfaring stranger’ to the sublime spirit of Schubert’s ‘Die Sterne’.
