Wigmore Hall – Erollyn Wallen

June 19, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

 

The Royal Northern College of Music and Wigmore Hall are delighted to present a day of music to celebrate the work of internationally renowned Belize-born British composer Errollyn Wallen MBE. Described as the ‘renaissance woman of contemporary British music’ (The Observer), Wallen writes works that effortlessly move between musical genres. Whether through pop-influenced songs or large-scale orchestral works, Wallen draws inspiration from a broad palette of genres and styles.

Today’s music features chamber and vocal works performed by students from the RNCM. The programme includes Greenwich Variations, whose first performance was in 2000; Dervish, first premièred at Wigmore Hall in 2001; the opera for tenor and piano Another America; and a group of Wallen’s many songs.
