SIDE BY SIDE

Following their sold out performances of Our Mother last year, FIGURE, led by Frederick Waxman, returns to Stone Nest for another intimate musical experience. Watch an up-close performance of baroque masterpieces by Corelli, Handel, and van Wassenaer, contrasted with contemporary compositions by Caroline Shaw, Edmund Finnis, and a specially commissioned world premiere by rising star Joanna Ward.

"[FIGURE's] reimagination of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater has a timeless directness and simplicity” - The Guardian
