Music for the Mysteries

Is the name of a Scandanavian ensemble of professional composers and musicians, especially formed to produce and perform magical and Sacred music.

This special seminar performance is an extract from  a concert of   Western Mystery Tradition writings set to contemporary music.  The full concert can be experienced in Glastonbury Abbey on Sunday 7th Sept at 2.45 pm. To have "Music for the Mysteries" perform in the heart of Glastonbury is very much following the Avalonian tradition,  being reminiscent of Sharp's Immortal Hour set to Rutland Boughton's music being  performed there some eigthy years ago in the presence of a young Dion Fortune.
