Instrument: Flute

Donald Nally’s much vaunted chamber choir The Crossing give a program of three New York premieres at Zankel Hall. 

Billed under the heading ‘Echoes of Youth’, this Kings Place programme is an attractive ragbag of unlikely bedfellows.

Don Quixote provides the inspiration for songs by Ravel and Ibert, the high point of a bitty programme in contrast to an early evening recital which followed the perfect trajectory.
