The 6th October saw the Dutch premiere of the collection of pieces ‘A Memory of the Ocean’ by the Dutch Radio Choir Groot Omroepkoor with a solo from soprano Varvara Tishina, pianist Hannes Minnaar, and cellist Anton Spronk under conductor Florian Helgath for AVROTROS Vrijdagconcert at TivoliVrendenburg, Utrecht to standing ovation.
The piece was co-commissioned by Royal Philharmonic Society, Vaughan Williams Foundation, and Netherlands’ AVROTROS Friday concert, with the world premiere earlier this year by Bristol Choral Society under Hilary Campbell.
