Evelyn Glennie and the Fantasia Orchestra ~ South Kensington, London

  • Royal Albert Hall Kensington Gore London, England, SW7 United Kingdom (map)

A late-night, genre-busting programme

Grammy Award-winning percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie joins the Fantasia Orchestra and BBC Singers for a genre-busting programme connecting Vaughan Williams’s lyrical Serenade for Music – written for Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood – via Radiohead and the jazz of John Coltrane and Duke Ellington to the exhilarating invention of Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Partita. We also hear a world premiere from French-British soprano and composer Héloïse Werner.
