Join the electrifying young voices of National Youth Choir (15-18 Years) and trailblazing Manchester-based conductor Ellie Slorach for an afternoon concert exploring the forces of nature that govern our relationship with our planet.

These brilliant teenage singers will bring the power of the elements alive through moving music, vivid soundscapes and thrilling body percussion in what is sure to be a truly atmospheric performance. Katerina Gimon’s epic 4-part piece ‘Elements’ runs through the centre of the concert, interspersed with music including Eric Whitacre’s dramatic ‘Learnardo Dreams of his Flying Machine’, Frank Ticheli’s heartfelt ‘Earth Song’ and Morten Lauridsen’s passionate ‘Fire Songs’. Come and join us to celebrate the precarious beauty of our vulnerable planet, and warm your spirit in hope of a better world.

The Chœur Métropolitain will delight audiences with every choral ensemble’s favourite piece: Carmina Burana. At once powerful, dramatic, playful and measured, these secular cantatas were inspired by medieval poems and set to music in 1936 by Carl Orff. A joy to sing and listen to, particularly in their arrangement for piano and percussion!
