Performance Notes | We celebrate the rich musical landscape of nature in a Prom inspired by the bestselling book The Lost Words, which revives disappearing words that describe the natural world.
With a brand-new spell by the books author Robert Macfarlane, and live paintings from Jackie Morris, who created the original artwork, the programme includes the nightingale, quail and cuckoo calls from Beethovens Pastoral Symphony, the Arctic bird cries of Rautavaaras Cantus arcticus and the carefree flight of Vaughan Williamss The Lark Ascending.
Serena Cross - director, Sharon Watson - choreographer and movement director, Chris Watson - sound recordist |
