Mendelssohn: Incidental Music to 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream '
Mark Anthony Turnage: 'At Sixes & Sevens' (world premiere, commissioned by The Honourable The Irish Society and the City of London )
(Note: to mark the 400th anniversary of the unique relationship between Derry/Londonderry and the City of London, Northern Irish poet Paul Muldoon and English composer Mark Anthony Turnage have created a work interspersed with music devised by communities from both cities. The world premiere will be performed simultaneously in the two Guildhalls of London and Derry/Londonderry, the latter with Camerata Ireland under Barry Douglas. )
