This commission has all the “pull” of the vocal lines and how they interplay with each other. It has a sense of an imagined landscape because some music suggests the long look at a horizon.

Art in all forms is essential right now. It fills our souls, makes us think, helps us escape our everyday and imagine possibilities.
So if you’re in Edinburgh on Saturday I recommend you come to this. It’s brilliant. ❤️ Janacek
