The Chineke! Chamber Ensemble returns to the Queens Hall with a live performance of two new works by Aboriginal Australian composers, including the European premiere of didgeridoo player William Barton’s The Rising of the Mother Country. To start, William Grant Still and Valerie Coleman depict music from Brazil and America’s Mississippi delta and to close we hear Mendelssohn’s Piano Sextet, written when he was 15, but unpublished until after his death.
