St Nicholas

28th June - Curlew and Other Creatures 7:30pm at St Nicholas Village Hall.

An evening featuring the first performance of a new song cycle by Pembrokeshire composer David Pepper and a one-man show by Cameroonian poet Eric Ngalle Charles.

Cri’r Gylfinir/The Curlew’s Cry is the latest collaboration between David Pepper and Jon Gower, who wrote the lyrics. It is inspired by a bird with one of the most evocative calls but sadly a species very much in decline.
 
The Rituals of the Molikilikili (Stick Insect) is about the power of literature to overcome trauma. It weaves between languages, folktales, and Bantu oral traditions.
 
The evening will feature songs by Britten, Schumann, Faure and Puccini performed by Georgina Stalbow and accompanied by David Pepper.
 
There will also be poetry from Africa and Wales and some verse that spans and connects the two.
