Half Six Fix: Laura Bowler ~ Barbican, London

  • Barbican Centre Silk Street London, England United Kingdom (map)

Kick-start your evening with a 60-minute Half Six Fix concert

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.

The Performers

Conducting this concert, and sharing the stage with her mentor Barbara Hannigan, is rising star Bar Avni, First Prize winner of the 2024 La Maestra competition in Paris.
