Seven Elements
Over the last three years, audiences have been profoundly moved by Alex Roth's settings of Vikram Seth's texts, presented as part of the acclaimed four-year Confluences project. Seth and Roth have led us on a journey of ideas, immersed us in stunningly beautiful music and left a lasting impression on how we perceive the world. Seven Elements is the fourth and final of Confluences and weaves together the previous years' themes of China, Europe and India into two enthralling new chamber works. With the stunning voice of James Gilchrist joining the project for the first time, violinist Philippe Honoré and pianist Rustem Hayroudinoff will perform these pieces alongside Schubert's glorious and rarely performed The Shepherd on the Rock. Schubert's Violin Sonata in A major and a selection of his songs complete the programme.
A Lichfield Festival co-commission presented in partnership with the Salisbury and Chelsea Festivals.
