'The Brilliant Endymion' and EXAUDI 'the extraordinary ensemble of vocal virtuosi' collaborate on two beautiful evenings of 'new simplicity'.

The timeless space of Morton Feldman's music is explored in his iconic Clarinet and String Quartet, alongside shorter pieces Only and Voices and Cello. We pair this up with two new commissions by composers inspired by Feldman - Andrew Hamilton and James Weeks.

The first part of Music for People is on Monday 19 September at 7.45pm, in the Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall, and features music by Arvo Pärt, Philip Venables and Joanna Bailie. More details here.
