HARVEST at Wainsgate: Matthew Bourne & Emily Levy - Mercury Songs

Performer-composers Emily Levy and Matthew Bourne present a new work that recasts British folk traditions for today.

Award-winning performer-composers Emily Levy and Matthew Bourne’s new work for five-piece ensemble, with experimental orchestration and rich vocal textures. 

Mercury Songs is inspired by Bradford-born Julia Varley, a 20th-century activist for women’s and worker’s rights. It is a subversive reimagining of British folk traditions in a post-#MeToo world.
