Brexit: Goodbye, Hello An evening with music and writers from Britain
O wydarzeniu
The British Aurora Orchestra and tenor Ian Bostridge, conducted by Nicolas Altstaedt will perform Les Illuminations, a song cycle by Benjamin Britten to texts by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, as well as songs by The Beatles in an interpretation by the Italian avant‐garde composer Luciano Berio. Finally, with Haydn’s ‘Farewell Symphony’ we call it an evening with a wink and a nod…
Between the musical works, literary giants Jonathan Coe and Ali Smith will read from their own works and share with us their take on the cultural relations between Europe and the United Kingdom, past, present and future. The ‘Brexit concert’ emphasises what unites Europe and the United Kingdom, not what divides them.
