Eternal Light Dance Tour 2009

Edited: Wed, 25 Feb 2009

Eternal Light is a new collaboration by Mark Baldwin and British composer Howard Goodall. This powerful piece is set to an elegiac and uplifting new score and is sung live by professional choirs. Sumptuous designs from Production Designer Michael Howells (Constant Speed, Galliano, Dior and film), feature sparkling crystals donated by Swarovski, and a striking headdress design from fashion milliner Stephen Jones.

Eternal Light is a heartfelt remembrance of many things: a lost summer's day, the destruction of the forests, a life looking back, a memory. Happiness and sadness are personified in a dying bird or a reflection on youth - what has been and is now gone, held in our hearts forever.

Eternal Light commissioned by Sadler's Wells
Eternal Light: A Requiem commissioned by Mark Stephenson on behalf of London Musici.
