We are delighted to begin our residency at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall. Triumph over adversity is the theme as we present the London premieres of two brand new Tenebrae commissions as part of this atmospheric performance. Roderick Williams‘ Lucis Creator Optime bookends this unique programme, featuring Into the Wreck by Josephine Stephenson and Francis Poulenc’s sensational choral cantata Figure Humaine, interspersed with poetry by Emily Dickinson.
