Lisa Gerrard from Dead Can Dance and Jules Maxwell will bring the breathtaking show Burn to Prague.

"Her best album in many years," writes the website Louder Than War about the album Burn, which Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) recorded together with Irish composer Jules Maxwell. Both will now come to Prague to present this unique recording live and promise a sonically massive and visually breathtaking experience.

New edition

Each of the compositions from the album is accompanied by films made specifically for each track. Art rock, neoclassicism, spiritual music that does not hide its Irish roots – if anyone has been elegantly transcending categories for several decades, it is Lisa Gerrard.

Lisa Gerrard is not only a founding member of the Australian band Dead Can Dance, but also one of the most versatile and captivating vocalists of recent decades. Her band was key to the rise of the 4AD label in the 1980s, and she is also a renowned collaborator – as evidenced by the dozens of collaborative recordings with various names from Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream) to the ensemble The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices. Together with Hans Zimmer, she composed the soundtrack for the film Gladiator, and she also collaborated with him on the music for the current film adaptation of Dune. She is the composer of the music for the films Whale Rider and Ali, whose director Michael Mann regularly uses Lisa Gerrard's music.

Jules Maxwell has been the keyboardist for the concert incarnation of Dead Can Dance since 2012, and it was then that his collaboration with Lisa Gerrard began. Otherwise, he is a versatile composer – his opera The Lost Thing premiered at the London Royal Opera House. Maxwell will open the evening with a live performance of his ambient album Cycles.

In Prague, however, he will mainly present their joint work – the passionate yet delicate album Burn. And it will be a truly unique opportunity to experience live an album that manages both grandly dramatic passages and very subtle songs. It is no coincidence that Gerrard herself speaks of the album as an extraordinarily positive recording.
