Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

Acclaimed conductor Nicholas Kok returns to work with the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers in a programme celebrating the work of composer and artist Edward Cowie. Cowie’s relationship with the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers goes back to the mid-1970s, and since then he has composed several major works for the group. His appointment, in 2002, as the group's first-ever Associate Composer was highly apposite to a composer who loves the human voice more than any other instrument.

Bookended with choral works by Cowie is the world premiere of his piece for solo organ – Cathedral Music 1, played on the organ of St Paul’s, Knightsbridge by Stephen Farr. The programme also features music that has influenced Cowie – including that of Vaughan Williams, Elgar and Ligeti.
