Philip Glass’s Songs of Milarepa features the baritone Adam Gouldin and sets texts from the poems of Milarepa (1052-1135), one of Tibet’s most famous saints and poets.
Michael Sluman is the soloist in Ross Edward’s highly virtuosic Bird Spirit Dreaming, an oboe concerto that presents a kaleidoscopic interplay of material, gleaned from the natural environment and cultural sources.
The programme is completed by Copland’s masterfully iconic ballet suite, Appalachian Spring.
