BCMG explores the interconnections between nature and humankind in an enchanting musical programme which includes the world premiere of Christian Mason’s new Sound Investment commission The Singing Tree, with text by Paul Griffiths, and the extraordinary Concertini for ensemble by Helmut Lachenmann.
Christian Mason says: “Setting a specially written many-layered text by Paul Griffiths, this new piece for BCMG will explore musical metaphors for arborescence, organic growth, transformation, reaching for light… as a way of contemplating both the relation between humans and nature, and nature (including humans) and the divine.”
The T R E E project is proudly in collaboration with Birmingham Trees For Life.
