The Little Match Girl Passion
Passiontide music by David Lang, Bach, Barber and others
|
Jubilate Chamber Choir presents composer David Lang's mesmerising and Pulitzer Prize-winning work for chorus and percussion-playing vocal soloists. Through fifteen thought-provoking movements, Lang retells the heartbreaking story by Hans Christian Anderson through the lens and framework of a Bach Passion; a transformation that draws the listener into the action, inviting them to reflect deeply on the nature of suffering. Lang's music will be paired with Passiontide works by Bach, Barber, Casals, Victoria and others. "Sounds of startling simplicity yet poetic richness” Tom Service describing Lang's The Little Match Girl Passion on the BBC's The Listening Service There will be two performances: Pusey House Chapel, St. Giles, Oxford Saturday 14th March 2026 Douai Abbey Sunday 22nd March 2026 See our Concert Diary for more details |
