Pawel Lukaszewski Via Crucis (UK première tour)

Music by this young Polish composer has been heard around the globe and is championed in the UK by Stephen Layton. The immediacy of its impact belies its radiant simplicity, prompting comparison with the sacred music of John Tavener and Arvo Pärt. Our Easter concerts with Polyphony and Stephen Layton have become one of the highlights of the choral concert calender.

‘What more can one say of the singing other than that it is Polypony? This ensemble - surely one of the best small choirs now before the public - invests everything it sings with insight, crisp ensemble and total warmth.’ The Daily Telegraph
