rb scholars perform new work ‘human flowers’
April 25 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
“Love and nature are in full bloom in this programme of evocative imagery and shimmering harmony.
Selections from Claude Le Jeune’s innovative 16th-century Le printemps set spring as the season of love. Love is the timeless subject for Palestrina – a giant of the Italian Renaissance – and for Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur, who brings impressionistic colour and intimacy to his choral masterpiece.
You’ll also hear music by Giovanni Gabrieli, Liz Dilnot Johnson, and a world premiere from Bobbie-Jane Gardner, who takes inspiration from Daisaku Ikeda’s concept of “human flowers”.
Our 2025-26 cohort of talented Scholars will be joined by cornetts and sackbuts from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire – don’t miss it!”
