About This Event

Chief conductor Sofi Jeannin, the 大象传媒 Singers, the innovative United Strings of Europe and the inspiring National Youth Chamber Choir present an evening of beautiful works for voice and string, with music by contemporary composers from America and Europe.

Featuring Judith Weir's reflective suite for chorus and string orchestra 'O Sweet Spontaneous Earth', Caroline Shaw's technicolour work for string 'Entr'acte' and Dobrinka Tabakova's celebratory 'Centuries of Meditations', inspired by four stained glass windows in Hereford Cathedral.

At the heart of the concert is the UK premiere of Morten Lauridsen's moving piece for choir and string 'Ave Verum Corpus', and the world premiere of Kim Andr茅 Arnesen's new work: 'Our Living Future'.

Join us for an evening of meditative and beautiful music this October.

This concert will be broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3 in Concert on 31 October 2023 at 7.30pm. It will be available for 30 days after broadcast via 大象传媒 Sounds.
