'Immersed' is more than just a concert—it's a unique transformative experience in an incredible setting. Prepare to be bathed in a sea of healing sounds and music as world-renowned violinist David LePage, composer Richard Leigh, vocalist Rachel Parkes and the ancestral sounds and gongs of Earthdance come together to saturate your senses in this world premiere performance.

As you step into the majestic surroundings of Peterborough Cathedral, The Gathering Sound will envelope you with the ethereal melodies of David LePage's violin, whilst composer Richard Leigh guides you through a mesmerising sonic landscape, weaving together layers of sounds on viola, piano, with the soaring voice of Rachel Parkes. Feel the vibrational tones and overtones of the gong, deep within the cells of the body, and drift into your dreamtime with the deep, earthy drone of the didgeridoo as Earth Dance bring these ancient sounds to reverberate within the walls of this extraordinary cathedral.

Let go of the stresses of everyday life as you surrender to the power of music to heal, uplift, and inspire. This is an immersive experience and there will be space for audience members to lay down during the performance if they wish.

Tickets: £28.50 per person.

Quotes about the artists:

David Le Page

“David Le Page is one the most exciting musicians I’ve been lucky enough to encounter. The finesse and fieriness of his playing is always top-notch, whether he is working as a solo violinist, in chamber music or as leader of his orchestra; but more than that, his unique sense of creativity infuses everything he does. His own music has a strong personal voice, full of improvisatory flair and independence of thought – and, like his interpretations of the classical repertoire, seems driven by a deeply poetic spirit.”

The Independent

Richard Leigh

“…spacious, ethereal landscapes with sparse instrumentations – clusters of notes are left hanging and ringing, conjuring the immensity of space and resonating with the mysterious eternal world of the soul” Rob Weinberg – Classic FM about the album ‘Myriads’ by Richard Leigh

‘...breathtaking, extraordinary & mesmeric, we were all stunned at the end’  Sarah & Oliver Percival about Rivers

‘... a very gifted composer with some magical visions…’
Lasse Thoresen (composer & Oslo Conservatoire professor) about Myriads
