The Gavin Bryars Ensemble will perform Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet as part of RAFT, a residency, exhibition, festival by artist/filmmaker Chiara Ambrosio. She describes this a “month-long séance, conjuring images, dreams, nightmares and fairy tales reaped and sowed in the city of London,” which runs from June 10 to July 8. Through her work Chiara aims to evoke the spirit of the city to create “a fragile display, a constellation, a monument, a temporary site-specific configuration of people, objects, practices, ideas, histories, dreams and visions.” In addition to the performance on June 12, Gavin will also engage in a conversation with Chiara.

Performers:

Katie Wilkinson, Camilla Derven, violas

Audrey Riley, Ziella Bryars, Nick Cooper, cellos

James Woodrow, electric guitar Gavin Bryars, electric keyboard
