Dreams of Peace & Freedom
Sue Casson's

'One of the most beautiful things
I've ever heard. A magnificent work about freedom, democracy, liberty'
MusicalTalk

Combining archive film, text, music and live performance, this song cycle tells the story of the ECHR’s creation through the eyes of Nuremberg prosecutor and British artisan of the European Convention on Human Rights,
David Maxwell Fyfe.
Song cycle celebrating the

Inspirational quotations from his speeches, autobiography and previously unpublished letters are woven with Sue Casson’s ethereal musical settings of poetry he found inspiring.
