UNLOCK THE DOOR TO A CONCERT LIKE NO OTHER

This place echoes with those that once lived here, their presence still sings from the shadows. For two nights only, IBT and Trust New Art invite you inside the beautiful surroundings of the National Trust’s Tyntesfield.

In a special commission musician Patrick Wolf creates a concert at the heart of the house. No stranger to collaboration, Patrick’s rich history has featured creations with Arcade Fire, Patti Smith and Tilda Swinton.

For Night Songs, Patrick is joined by a host of performance artists to occupy this mysterious mansion against a Gothic backdrop of spiralling turrets and pinnacles.

Collapse the past into the present. Add your voice to the echoes.

As part of Night Songs, IBT & Trust New Art are commissioning a new song from Patrick. The song will be released in the New Year.
