A programme of events celebrating the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Orpheus Mosaic kicks off in Cirencester this April 2025
art exhibition and a performance from Britain's Biggest Orpheus Choir
Cirencester is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Orpheus Mosaic
with a programme of celebrations across the town starting this April 2025
The Orpheus Mosaic, which was discovered on Barton Farm just outside Cirencester and is now at the <a href="/tag/corinium-museum/" title="Corinium Museum" target="_blank" aria-label="Open in new window">Corinium Museum</a>
depicts the mythological character Orpheus with his lyre
birds and even rocks and stones listening to his song.&nbsp;
when his wife Eurydice dies shortly after their marriage
Orpheus uses his virtuoso musical and lyrical ability to charm his way into the Underworld to make a bargain with Hades to bring Eurydice back
only to lose her again after breaking one of Hades' conditions — not to look behind him until they'd reached the land of the living.&nbsp;
Paying tribute to this much-loved myth — and its mosaic — Project Orpheus sees the Corinium Museum, the <a href="/tag/barn-theatre/" title="Barn Theatre" target="_blank" aria-label="Open in new window">Barn Theatre</a> and <a href="/tag/new-brewery-arts/" title="New Brewery Arts" target="_blank" aria-label="Open in new window">New Brewery Arts</a> come together for a programme of events which kicks off this April 2025
Brickus Orpheus — a mythological trail made entirely from&nbsp;LEGO® — runs from Tuesday 15 April until Sunday 2 November 2025.&nbsp;
Orpheus community singing workshops and the Bring Life to your Garden competition — which invites Cirencester locals to be like Orpheus and tell the stories of how they've charmed wildlife into their gardens and allotments — both get underway in May
New Brewery Arts hosts the Orpheus Exhibition
which celebrates Cirencester's connection with Orpheus through song and nature
And the project culminates with Orpheus Day — a day of free entertainment at Cirencester Abbey Grounds on Monday 25 August 2025 — featuring a big puppet parade and a performance from Britain's Biggest Orpheus Choir
with music by award-winning composer Howard Goodall and lyrics from celebrated Irish poet Theo Dorgan
is to create something truly remarkable here in Cirencester
'We are thrilled Howard Goodall and Theo Dorgan have written us such a beautiful choral piece that is both contemporary and poetic – it is truly something special
We want to spread the message wide to ask for all singers
choirs and enthusiastic vocalists of all ages to come together and join in with our 'Song for Orpheus' as we try to build Britain’s Biggest Orpheus Choir.'
Singers and choirs from Gloucestershire and beyond interested in joining the Orpheus Choir can find full details on the Project Orpheus website
