Sun 12 Nov 2017, 15:00 ,Barbican Hall

About
Discover

Jazz harmonies, Brazilian grooves and Baroque counterpoint combine in the London premiere of a new choral symphony by composer and pianist Roland Perrin.

Inspired by the Amazon River and region – its topography, its multitude of flora and fauna, the mystery of its remote tribes and the experiences of the different people arriving from afar – Rio Amazonas is also an inner reflection on our primal selves; symphonic architecture realised by jazz trio, massed choirs and string orchestra.

Reviews

‘‘Music full of contrasts, dramatic but hip and swinging too. Impressively flexible choral writing integrated into the instrumental texture - musically terrific.’‘
