TERRY RILEY Sun Rings (80’) for string quartet and choir with spacescapes by NASA
“Music of supreme beauty and spiritual impact.” The Los Angeles Times
Experience an unforgettable evening melding classical music for string quartet and choir with electronic sounds from outer space against the backdrop of Luke Jerram’s stunning Helios installation.
This evening features the Goole 200 Community Choir, a group of singers specially brought together by Music in the Round and Junction for this unique performance, inspired by the wonder of Helios and in celebration of Goole’s 200th anniversary year.
Phaedra Ensemble is a London-based collective pushing the boundaries of contemporary chamber music in bold and imaginative ways. Known for innovative performances, they curate cutting-edge new works alongside modern classics from the last hundred years.
This event is part of Junction Classical Music Series with Music in the Round
Sun Rings was originally commissioned by the NASA Art Program with the ground-breaking leading contemporary Kronos Quartet.
“Cross-genre collective Phaedra are part of a new breed of ensembles tearing up the rules of classical and creating a trailblazing hotpot of sounds in their wake.”
