Alston

Richard Alston Dance Company eagerly anticipated return to Edinburgh Festival includes Alston’s latest choreography, A Ceremony of Carols.

Choreographed to Benjamin Britten’s masterpiece for boys’ voices and harp, the music is of magisterial simplicity.

Conjuring up a rich world of rapt and devout adoration, the dance is a celebration of a sheer surge of breath, a pure stream of sound.

“A choreographer for whom every dance is a love affair with his chosen music” - The Times
