Coming to Cross Street Unitarian Chapel tomorrow ~ Aaron Breeze and his new performance project, VANITY. If you're in Manchester city centre tomorrow, Friday 12th June, at 1pm, please come along. If you have never seen Aaron perform, you've been missing out.

"VANITY began as a joke.
The title arrived long before the music was assembled: a tongue-in-cheek response to months spent in the gym, documenting physical transformation while preparing a programme built around virtuosity, spectacle, excess, humour, and endurance. What began as a visual concept gradually revealed deeper connections between the act of practising and athletic training. Hours of repetition, incremental improvement, physical fatigue, frustration, and discipline are familiar to both. VANITY includes works spanning three centuries. Featuring music by Scarlatti, Chopin, Satie, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Florence Price, Karen Tanaka, and Aaron Breeze, the programme unfolds without spoken interruption, drawing connections between the physical intensity of music-making and athleticism, alongside evolving ideas of triumph and victory."
