The story of the perilous journey of migrating honey bees in the city.

A new composition and innovative work stretching the boundaries of choral music, voices and movement. The nine piece choir have devised a soundscape with field recordings from the urban landscape. The devising process involved consultation with beekeepers, behavioural scientists, Neuroscientists, Biologists and bees themselves.

There are bee keepers in this audience. There are bees in the garden above your head.

Plus Hiver beer and honey cocktails in the Midnight Apothecary’s roof garden after the performance.
