    Overview

    A performance of Pierrot Lunaire is always a special event, all the more so when played by young people. Students from the UK’s oldest music school are joined by two international, prize-winning singers in a unique project to mark Schoenberg’s 150th anniversary. Iain Farrington’s ingenious arrangement of Mahler’s youthful song cycle, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen for chamber orchestra, completes the programme.

    Promoted by The Purcell School.
