Work: Ramifications, for strings

An enticing Barbican programme from Barbara Hannigan, seeking light out of darkness in pieces spanning three different centuries, and an electrifying vocal performance by mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron. 

Two distinctly different halves to this evening in Kings Hall: chamber delicacy and subtlety in Ligeti and CPE Bach, and a barnstorming approach in Schubert's greatest symphony.

Bold and colourful invocations of twentieth-century classics from Ensemble Modern and composer George Benjamin.
