Joanna Marsh (arr J Azkoul) In Winter’s House
Caroline Shaw Moss and Stem from The Evergreen
Erkki-Sven Tüür Insula Deserta
Daniel Kidane Be Still
Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings in C major op 48

The Royal College of Music welcomes Jonathan Morton, Artistic Director and Leader of the Scottish Ensemble, in a concert inspired by the melodies and writings of folklore and nature.

Orawa, a work rooted in the Podhale ’highland’ region of Poland, opens the programme, followed by Joanna Marsh’s In Winter’s House, which draws on poems of fairy tales, darkness and light.

Journey into the woods with Caroline Shaw’s forest ’offering’, and to a desert island with Erkki-Sven Tüür’s early work. Finally, hear Be Still, Daniel Kidane’s musical reflection on the 2020 lockdown, and one of Tchaikovsky’s most popular works, the Serenade, infused with folksong from his homeland.
