Performers

• New London Chamber Choir

Time becomes space, sounds become colours and shapes, and the classical elegance of St John’s Waterloo floods with emotion that’s real enough to touch.

It doesn’t take much: just the voices of the New London Chamber Choir and a handful of musicians who believe in every note. Composer Andrew Norman hurls himself into the eternal city of Rome, and lets his memories and impressions cascade into the ears. And in Rothko Chapel, Morton Feldman gazes at the paintings of Mark Rothko and responds with music as still and as deep as those haunted colours. A true modern classic: hear it, and be transformed.
