There are many ways to fall and many stories about falling. Long-established duo Harriet Burns and Ian Tindale have a passion for telling these stories, be they metaphorical, literal or mystical.

Through a programme ranging from the Victorian era to premiere recordings of works written for them by Christopher Churcher and Derri Joseph Lewis, they explore the topic of ‘falling’ in a playful and eclectic way. In doing so they create a web of connections between themes such as war, power and queerness, highlighting less often heard voices such as Morfydd Owen and Maude Valérie White alongside major composers of the present – including two epic solo pieces, for voice and piano respectively, by Judith Weir.
