Double Grammy winning composer Christopher Tin's latest orchestral and choral suite 'The Drop that contained the Sea' has its European premiere in York. Conducted by the composer himself with Angel City Chorale from Los Angeles, Prima Vocal Ensemble and The Mowbray Orchestra.
A host of awards including 2 Grammy's and a billboard chart entry at No 1 have made Christopher Tin one of the most talked about classical crossover artists in recent years and this unmissable concert will include excerpts from his award winning 'Calling all dawns' featuring 'Baba Yetu' from Sid Meier's 'Civilization IV'.
Drawing on ethnic themes, classical influences and texts both ancient and modern, Tin has universal appeal for fans of a powerful choral and orchestral sound, devotees of computer game soundtracks and aficionados of world music alike. His music recognises no cultural borders, existing as a deliberate metaphor for the words of all mankind.
For those who like their classical music to pack an emotional punch, Christopher Tin holds nothing back with a sound that "joyfully suggests the cradle of life itself" - The Guardian
"... rousing, anthemic" - Time Magazine
"... a musical milestone" - Wall Street Journal
"Hands down, I can say now... nothing will touch it. This wave stands taller than the rest. Stunning." - Higher Plain Music
The concert will also be in support of 'Jessie's Fund' a local charity helping children through music whose patron was the late Victoria Wood.
