Chalice is the new musical project from Minimum Labyrinth: Ian Blake (reeds), Rich Cochrane (guitar and electronics), Nicolas Hajdu (bass) and Robert Kingham (narrative).
Chalice blends spoken words with atmospheric music created in the moment, drawing the audience into a world of mystery, philosophy, folklore and transcendence. Every performance is different: you might hear texts drawn from medieval poetry, speculative philosophy, literature both high and low, ancient religion, or pieces written by Chalice members themselves, often cut up and juxtaposed to create a constellation of ideas.
If the world feels uphill to you, then come and take a break from it all, and find some moments of peace and beauty, lost for a time on a musical journey. Expect soaring saxophones resounding off the church walls, meditative bass notes, ethereal guitar, and words to lead you through time and space.
Chalice is delighted to perform its first public concert as a fundraiser in support of Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church (five minutes' walk from Tottenham Court Road). All proceeds will support this marvellous haven and sanctuary in the heart of the glaring city.
