The natural
world can inspire us all and each of the composers in this programme has
responded by creating some of their most beautiful music, celebrating
and reflecting the spectacular beauty and glorious diversity of their
homeland. The centrepiece of the concert is a special commission from
John Woolrich, directly inspired by the wild and magnificent landscapes
of the Great Fen Project.
One of
Britain’s most exciting conservation efforts, the Great Fen Project
is creating a 9,000 acre fenland habitat in Cambridgeshire. It will create
a haven for wildlife and open new opportunities for business, education
and recreation. Imagine walking for hours without retracing your steps
in a vast mosaic of meadows, woods, streams and marshes.
