Can classical music help us focus or bring inner peace? You can judge for yourself in this tranquil programme from the Royal Albert Hall in London with the Grammy-nominated vocal group Voces8, Norwegian pianist-composer Ola Gjeilo and the Carducci String Quartet. The concert explores the themes of meditation and stillness through the lens of stress-busting music from the 20th and 21st centuries.
