Lunchtime Recital: The Sanctus Project

  • Tue 7 October | 13:15 - 14:00
  • Bristol Cathedral  - College Green, Bristol

The Sanctus Project was the brainchild of saxophonist and session musician, Ian Close.  Ian transcribed the vocal lines from early sacred music of the 12th and 13th Centuries and then Dominic Beeton accompanied these sublime instrumental lines with harmonium, shruti box, and synthesisers.  The result is a profoundly spiritual experience which is ideally suited for the cathedrals, churches, abbeys and sacred spaces.

Dominic Beeton

Dominic learnt piano from the age of 4 and was trained as a classical pianist.  He learnt church organ for 2 years.  Since the age of 14 he has been composing beautiful romantic piano music.   He has been composing for film, television and new media for the last 20 years and has credits on BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky.  He owns and maintains a meditation web site (www.meditatia.com) and has released 15 meditation and jazz albums available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and the usual digital channels including 5 albums with Ian Close.   

Ian Close

Ian has been a professional musician and educator for over twenty years. During this time he has performed at many levels throughout the industry that range from function work, solo saxophone, big bands, wind bands through to being a featured soloist on radio/television cinema/theatre and touring with artists that include Gordon Haskell, Norah Jones, The Blockheads, Chrissie Hynde, Mitch Winehouse, Jim Diamond and Ricky Gervais all over the U.K., Europe and America.
