Liverpool Biennial
A Crimson Grail, due to its huge scale has only previously been performed twice, once in the Lincoln Center in New York and once in the Sacre-Coeur in Paris. For this, the third ever performance and UK premiere, one hundred volunteer guitarists and eight bassists joined Rhys Chatham and his team in a performance of A Crimson Grail in the glorious setting of Liverpool Cathedral. This partnership between Samizdat and Liverpool Biennial was the perfect pairing to bring Rhys back to Liverpool for what truly was a once in a lifetime experience.
