Songs my mother taught me

Songs my mother taught me is a unique performance of music and theatre, with new and old works inspired by folk song in the unique Union Chapel.

It includes two premieres by Darren Sng and Vincenzo Di Francesco, as well as music by Bartók, arrangements of Brahms and Gustav Holst, and works by living composers such as Luis Mota, Jorge Ramos, Samuel Gapp and António Sá-Dantas.

Performed by the Cat’s Cradle Collective, with the actress Marta Carvalho creating a narrative beyond the music.
