Programme Note
Evoke is proud to present the London Premiere of a brand new work, Requiem, by British contemporary composer, Ian Venables.
Venables is widely recognised as a master of song and his skills are now focussed in this beautiful choral setting of the requiem text.
“…music of bewitching lyricism, idiomatic grace and rapt instinct…” Gramophone
The programme also includes works by other classic and contemporary British composers.
