“Sir Karl Jenkins produces impeccable writing for a multitude of voices and instruments,” says opera and concert star Sir Bryn Terfel. “I wish I had his talent for composing tunes but am proud to consider myself one who adores singing them...”
Sir Bryn is far from alone in his admiration for his fellow Welshman, who conducts this Symphony Hall performance of his best-known and arguably finest work, The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace.
The programme also features excerpts from the composer’s Adiemus and Palladio.
Sir Karl is joined for the event by London Concert Orchestra, the Canzonetta choir, and three solo performers: Kathryn Rudge (mezzo-soprano), Zands Duggan (hand percussion) and Osama Kiwan (muezzin).
