A Blue True Dream of Sky

Echo Vocal Ensemble, Sarah Latto director

The programme is carefully curated to reflect the beauty and splendour of the natural world. It features sumptuous music by Kenneth Leighton, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Judith Weir, goes on to examine man’s historical and current relationship with nature with works by Palestrina and Shruthi Rajasekar and then looks forward to the future in the work of Philip Glass, Rory Wainwright Johnston and Anohni.

Described as ‘sublime, spirited…completely assured’ (The Arts Desk), Echo Vocal Ensemble is an adventurous group of singers known for their flexibility, innovation and excellence. Since its inception, the group has developed a reputation for innovative programming and multi-disciplinary collaborations, including with poet Roger McGough, composer James MacMillan, visual artist Polly Apfelbaum and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Echo aims to explore the full range of what ensemble singing can achieve, including improvisation and audience-immersive concert experiences, while achieving musical excellence at all times.
