Join us for an in-depth trailer and walkthrough of our brand new collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company, in which we captured the historic pipe organ of the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon – William Shakespeare’s final resting place. Originally recorded for the RSC’s 2024 production of Twelfth Night, this deeply moving instrument, whose voice has echoed through centuries, was recorded in detail in the Holy Trinity Church’s fabulous acoustics. Its versatile character shone on stage and is now available to composers worldwide. Drama awaits.
