confluences iv

the first meeting to discuss the fourth and final installment of the four-year Confluences project took place down in Salisbury earlier this week. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there, but Alec sent out his initial thoughts after meeting with Vikram Seth, and Philippe Honore. While the three festivals have yet to go through budgets, dates, performers and repertoire at a meeting in London over coming weeks, it seems after last year's Six Ages of Man theme, next year is provisionally based on the Seven Elements and it will be for much smaller forces.
