Event information

Intermezzo's concert this summer is titled "in the silence of the night".

The programme will include works relating to night and silence including a dramatic opening by Augustinas (text from Psalm 139: yea the darkness hideth not...), the atmospheric Dum medium silentium by fellow Lithuanian Miškinis, music set in the night-time by Latvians Ēriks Ešenvalds and Laura Jēkabsone, and a lovely song about wishing on a falling star by Swedish composer Emil Sundberg.

Away from Scandinavia and the Baltic states, we have two pieces by Eric Whitacre including a complete reimagining of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence, haunting arrangements of an old English folk song by Kerry Andrew and a modern one by Jim Clements, a classic version of All Through the Night, South African Peter Klatzow's Night Silence, and a new arrangement, also from South Africa, to test the choir's mettle!
