The Singing Glacier

Collaborative response to glaciers commissioned by The Little Baroque Orchestra. In 2016 Bill worked with poet Helen Mort. Fieldwork in East Greenland included climbing on and above Knud Rasmussen glacier in Sermiligaaq fjord. The Singing Glacier combines instrumental music by Bill and original poetry read by Helen. Performances have included: Poetry in Aldeburgh festival; Poetry-next-the-Sea festival; Totally Thames festival; and the Daniel Corkery Summer School. It has also featured in Manchester Metropolitan University’s Place Writing Festival and BBC Radio 3’s Unclassified. Listen in Works.
