The Tree of Life - Kings Place London

  • Kings Place - Hall One 90 York Way London, England, N1 9AG United Kingdom (map)

Kings Place: Embodying “undivided devotion to the musical material,” the Grammy Award–winning vocal ensemble Theatre of Voices is a go-to collaborator for many of today’s most visionary composers. In this performance we’ll hear the UK-premiere of a Kings Place commission by the category-defying Julia Wolfe; a London Premiere by Nigel Osborne, inspired by his work in Lebanon with Syrian children in refugee camps as well as one of Arvo Pärt’s earliest examples of tintinnabuli, Missa Syllabica.

‘For fearlessness, verve, and beauty and strength of individual timbre the six singers featured certainly deserve the five-star sweep.’ The Times
