Grief Opera - Love Goe... - Vladimir Miller,neil Latchman,keri Farish - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The Grief Opera brings the power of music to grief, an understanding that love goes on. Nigel Linacre lost his son George Linacre to suicide in late 2021 and started to write the words of what would become The Grief Opera.

Jazz bandleader Vladimir Miller, who had previously lost a band member to suicide, joined him, and composed the music, using some of George's bass rhythms as a starting point, with jazz, world music and contemporary classical influences.

Prima Facie Records are proud to support The Grief Opera, in which amateur singers, narrators and musicians from the area of Chippenham, UK, are joined by pianist Vladimir Miller and lead vocalists, international opera star Neil Latchman and rock singer Keri Farish, who is also George's aunt. The Grief Opera is profoundly emotional, and has been described as "harrowing but ultimately uplifting".

Suicide is the most common cause of death of young men in the UK. George was 32.
