Old and new creatively collide in this chorally spectacular programme launching the 大象传媒 Singers' second series of concerts at Milton Court. Directed by 大象传媒 Singers Conductor Laureate Stephen Cleobury, the concert includes the two most famous pieces in the choral repertoire for large forces - the great 16th-century motets by Alessandro Striggio and Thomas Tallis - plus two contemporary works conceived on similar scale by Gabriel Jackson and Robin Walker. With other choral works for the unusual but seductive combination of choir and cello - including Norwegian Knut Nystedt's haunting Stabat Mater, and the world premiere of a new work by Ivan Moody - and cello solos including Carl Vine's sonically stunning work for cello and electronics, this concert offers a spectacular range of aural
experiences in the brilliant acoustics of this acclaimed new concert hall.
