    Luminescence Chamber Singers perform David Lang's Little Match Girl Passion, alongside Renaissance music for Passiontide.

    About this event

    Based on Hans Christian Andersen's 1845 tale, The Little Match Girl Passion tells the sad story of a girl who freezes to death, selling matches on the street on a cold winter's night. David Lang's musical realisation of this classic fable is a groundbreaking, genre-defining and Pulitzer Prize-winning work. Modelled on Bach's St Matthew Passion, Lang alternates between narrative and commentary, but as the composer himself put it, 'there is no Bach in this piece and there is no Jesus'. Rather, the tragic story of the little match girl is transformed into a moving reflection on suffering, poverty, and sacrifice - it is a passion for our times. Realised in delicate vocal lines that weave and unravel into moments of intimate homophony, The Little Match Girl Passion holds horror and hope in both hands.

    Luminescence Chamber Singers perform the Little Match Girl Passion alongside renaissance polyphony for Passiontide, including music by Tomás Luis de Victoria, Pierre De la Rue, and Carlo Gesualdo.
