AN extraordinary event is set to take place in Tewkesbury Abbey this Saturday, (September 22).
Robert Fripp – the celebrated guitarist and founder member of the progressive rock group, King Crimson, has created a new work –#PieJesu – with his writing partner – Andrew Keeling – and it is due to be premiered by Excelsa Voces.
A spokesman said: “Robert Fripp, who hails from Pershore, has been voted one of the world’s top guitarists and has collaborated or performed with the likes of Brian Eno, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Blondie.
“Excelsa Voces formed by its musical director Paula Evans and Chris Long in 2016, has been stunning audiences with the purity of their sound and the immersive experience they give audiences. They specialise in a mixture of early music and contemporary compositions.”
The event will have lighting designs to enhance the atmosphere.
The performance begins at 7.30pm and tickets can be purchased from Blue, Broad Street, Pershore or on the door, at Tewkesbury Abbey.
