About

Join Kantos Chamber Choir as they examine the lives and passions of the Brontë sisters through the eyes of their friend and supporter, Elizabeth Gaskell. Kantos will evoke the wild, exposed landscapes where three exceptional women found escape and freedom in their imagined worlds. An hour-long programme of choral music and spoken word will immerse us in their hilltop hive of creativity where they wove their intricate stories of desire, devotion, depravity, and despair. 
 

Elizabeth Gaskell expert, Sherry Ashworth, joins Kantos Choir to curate and present the programme for this unique performance created in partnership with Library Live and Elizabeth Gaskell’s House.
