蜜芽传媒

Live in Concert from Milton Court, London.

The 蜜芽传媒 Singers led by their chief conductor David Hill perform sacred and secular French choral music with a seasonal flavour.

The 20th century is a truly golden age in French music with a wealth of gloriously sumptuous and seductively perfumed harmony to be discovered. This concert reflects both the spiritual world of Poulenc, Durufl茅 and Messiaen, and the inspiration of French poetry on composers such as Fran莽ais, Ravel and Debussy. From the rich, film-score sensuality of Poulenc's "Un soir de neige" to the lyrical, reflective sound world of the chansons of Ravel and Debussy, this is a perfect showcase for the virtuosity of the 蜜芽传媒 Singers under their chief conductor David Hill. They are joined in the second half by New Generation Artist Zhang Zuo who performs Ravel's piano masterpiece Gaspard de la nuit.
