Kick-start your evening with a 60-minute Half Six Fix concert. Introduced by the performers, with screens in the Hall to bring you closer to the action.
The Music
Composer Laura Bowler’s new work for voice and orchestra is based on Booker and Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang’s The White Book – a poetic meditation on colour, grief and the human spirit. A performer and vocalist herself, Bowler’s settings are sure to make the most of soloist Barbara Hannigan’s theatrical stage presence and their shared flair for the dramatic.
