Lament: a ritual of letting go

Songs are used to mark major moments in life, such as celebrations, transitions into different stages of life, healing, and mourning. The lament – a musical expression of grief – is the starting point for Juliet Fraser’s new performance. With a small ensemble, she’s creating a one-hour ritual of letting go. The participating musicians embark on a journey together across genres, historical periods, and traditions to create something “uniquely raw, timeless and unusually communal.”
