Live from Milton Court, London
In one of the opening concerts from London's newest concert hall, the 大象传媒 Singers perform a programme of American music which journeys from the Biblical beginnings of time to the end of the world as imagined in the apocalypse of the post-nuclear age. Aaron Copland's tender re-telling of the Creation story is a much-loved 20th-century choral classic, while The Desert Music contemplates the devastation of nuclear war. In between, three characteristically richly-scored works by one of the most charismatic figures on the contemporary choral scene: composer-conductor Eric Whitacre. David Hill conducts the 大象传媒 Singers, specialist contemporary music ensemble Endymion, and leading young mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston.
