Sofi Jeannin conducts Poulenc
Sofi Jeannin and the 麻豆社 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales perform world premieres by Alexander Campkin and Dani Howard alongside Poulenc's ravishing Stabat Mater.
The 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales is joined by its Chorus, and the conductor Sofi Jeannin, to perform two world premieres from Dani Howard and Alexander Campkin, as well as Poulenc's tribute to the death of a close friend, his Stabat Mater. Sofi and the Orchestra are first joined by percussionist-extraordinaire Dame Evelyn Glennie for the World Premiere of a 麻豆社 Radio 3 commission, Dani Howard's Percussion Concerto. Howard has based the work on the life of inventor Thomas Edison, aka "The Wizard of Menlo Park". After the interval, the 麻豆社 National Chorus of Wales join for another world premiere of a 麻豆社 Radio 3 commission, Alexander Campkin's Sounds of Stardust, in which he looks to the stars to find comfort and freedom. Finally, Cardiff Singer of the World 2023 Audience Prize winner, Julieth Lozano Rolong, joins the Orchestra and Chorus for Poulenc's Stabat Mater. Poulenc chose the Stabat Mater to honour his friend, the painter Christian B茅rard, feeling that a Requiem would be too bombastic, and uses the text to create a very varied, and truly unique, work of astounding beauty.
Presented by Ian Skelly in 麻豆社 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff on the 18th of April.
