Prom 62 - Eric Whitacre
The 大象传媒 Singers join composer Eric Whitacre's own choir for a Prom of his richly scored, increasingly popular choral music. Plus Bernstein, Bach, Imogen Heap and Moses Hogan.
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Louise Fryer
American composer Eric Whitacre has written some of the most widely sung, ravishingly scored, and greatly talked-about choral music of the last few years - especially through the pieces performed by his online Virtual Choir. Tonight his own choral group joins forces with the 大象传媒 Singers for a feast of music mainly by Whitacre himself.
The Prom includes several of the composer's best-known pieces plus two new works, and also includes music by Leonard Bernstein together with three classic spiritual arrangements by Moses Hogan - both of them fellow countrymen. With the rich acoustics of the Albert Hall, and the thrilling sound of the 48-voice combined choirs, this will be a choral feast of a concert.
