Sofi Jeannin
conductor

The BBC Singers and Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin present a concert of Russian choral music, focusing on works by Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky. 60 years ago, Stravinsky completed the missing voice parts to Guesualdo’s Tres sacrae cantiones. The result is a fascinating fusion of the work of both composers, and is paired with three movements from Guesualdo’s Sacrarum cantionum alongside simple warmth of Tchaikovsky’s anthems for the Russian Orthodox Church.

Join us for a short concert before the BBC Symphony Orchestra concert’s performance of music by Stravinsky and Shostakovich in the Barbican Hall at 7.30pm.
