Penny Gore presents music inspired by philosophy and philosophers.

Monteverdi uses the death of the philosopher Seneca as the model against which to judge the Roman Emperor Nero, while Elisabeth Lutyens' remarkable setting of Ludwig Wittgenstein's masterpiece of logical philosophy contrasts with Michael Tippett's moving and uplifting oratorio A Child of Our Time.
