A sumptuous feast of poetry and music including a traditional Burns Night Supper in the Finborough Road Brasserie.

Live Canon’s unique style is a fabulous way to hear, see and experience poetry. Every Live Canon production features the world premiere of newly commissioned acapella musical settings of poetry – this production will include three new works by emerging composers.

Live Canon are an ensemble performing British poetry on stage and premiering new acapella settings of canonical poems; they have recently had great success with a programme of work at Greenwich Theatre in Autumn 2008. This is their debut residency at the Finborough Theatre.
