The Listening Service at Free Thinking

Tom Service explores the idea of polyphony - a musical democratic utopia? Or are some voices always going to be more equal than others? Live at the Free Thinking Festival.

Tom Service explores the idea of polyphony - many voices, of equal importance, independent of each other and yet essential to the greater whole. A musical democratic utopia? Or are some voices always going to be more equal than others?
Taking the theme of this year's festival "the one and the many", Tom asks what singing together as one, and yet in different parts and voices, tells us about ourselves and our relationships with each other.
Live at the Free Thinking Festival at Sage Gateshead with the festival house choir, "Voices of Hope".
