Listening Session: Hannah Catherine Jones and the Chiron Choir

Hannah Catherine Jones sits in a room lit by an orange light playing bowl-shaped objects.

Led by Hannah Catherine Jones, Chiron Choir present a live set of somatic chants, vocal improvisations and compositions. 

Drawing upon themes in the Noah Davis exhibition in our gallery, Chiron Choir create a conversation between Davis' work and the site of his first retrospective in London, linking Arlington Heights and the Barbican Centre. 

They amplify the shared musical vocabularies traversing the UK and the US, through Black British and Black American female composers, including Alice Coltrane.

The event starts with an introduction by Hannah Catherine Jones.

7.45pm: Hannah Catherine Jones presents a discussion and sonic response to the work and exhibition of Noah Davis
