Programme Note

The ICS launches with a journey through 850 years of music – guided by Hugo Ticciati and the remarkable Evelyn Glennie. 

We begin at the beginning, with luminous spirituality from 12th-century visionary Hildegard of Bingen. We end with the insistent pulse of Philip Glass’s Third Symphony. And in between, we’re all over the map: in Estonia with Arvo Pärt (the classic Fratres), in Seattle with Nirvana, in Restoration England with Henry Purcell… 

It’s a typically inventive programme from Hugo Ticciati and his O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra who are joined tonight by Evelyn Glennie, the world’s premier solo percussionist. Fasten your seatbelts!
