Nicholas Kok (conductor)
In their 90th anniversary season, demonstrating their long-standing commitment to new music , the 大象传媒 Singers tonight premiere Richard Blackford's settings of the spiritually-charged poems of Kathleen Raine, and Nico Muhly's 'Spiral Mass' - a piece reflecting its composer's own musical preoccupation with twisting symmetries and helix figures.
Alongside these, pieces which cast a glance back to the music of the past: Judith Bingham's 'The Spirit of Truth' is based on a much-loved anthem by Tallis while Britten's 'Rejoice in the Lamb' pays affectionate homage to the music of Purcell, and his Prelude and Fugue is based on a theme from a Renaissance motet.
Organist James McVinnie performs three new pieces from The Orgelb眉chlein Project - in which contemporary composers have written short organ chorale-preludes to fill the pages left blank in J S Bach's famous collection from the early 18th century.
