Nico Muhly’s concerto for six-string electric violin, Seeing is Believing (2011) was inspired by the ancient practice of mapping the stars and commissioned and performed by our Resident Aurora Orchestra.
The work is paired with Byrd’s exquisite choral motet, Miserere mei, Deus (featured here in this clip), speaking to the composer’s love of English Tudor music, and John Adams’ iconic Chamber Symphony, a virtuosic rollercoaster which pays homage to the dazzling, acrobatic music of 1950s cartoons.
Join us on Wed 20 May at 7pm to watch the concert in full on KPlayer.
