DESCRIPTION:In a special collaboration for this Advent\, monologues by Rev
 d Canon Ned Lunn and music by Rachel Chaplin are performed together in the
  beautiful surroundings of Bradford Cathedral.\n\nWords and music combine 
 to reflect on the place of faith in the unexpected and challenging circums
 tances we find ourselves in. Listen to the voice of Mary\, the mother of J
 esus\, exploring themes of fear\, expectation and hope as she wrestles wit
 h pregnancy and motherhood at a time of great upheaval.\n\nMary\, played b
 y Philippa Slingsby-Lunn\, will be reading the words of Mary as a modern d
 ay pregnant woman.\n\nThe Advent music is by Rachel Chaplin\, performed by
  Evi Dobner (vocals) and Rachel Chaplin (piano).\n\nThis event is 'Pay As 
 You Feel'\, and you are invited to pay on the door or at the event.\n\nThi
 s project is part-funded by Bradford Council’s West Area Committee and s
 upported by the Bradford West Area Co-ordinator’s Office. For more infor
 mation please visit the Bradford West People Can Facebook group.\n\nRachel
  Chaplin is a classically-trained instrumentalist and composer. She perfor
 ms internationally as an oboist with period instrument ensembles including
  the English Baroque Soloists\, with whom she performed for the King’s C
 oronation. Rachel’s compositions combine her experience in classical mus
 ic with a rich tradition of Christian worship\, which she has practised in
  various forms throughout her life. She released her debut album\, ‘Musi
 c from an Inner Space: Psalms & sacred songs’\, earlier this year\, perf
 orming on piano and featuring the ethereal vocals of Evi Dobner with accom
 paniment by strings and trumpet. Described as ‘beautiful and powerful so
 ngs\, better than any medicine’ (BBC Radio 3’s Hannah French)\, Rachel
 ’s music opens up a calm and contemplative space into which her lyrics s
 trike with beauty and depth.\n\nwww.rachelchaplinmusic.com\n\nEvi Dobner i
