Singers recorded their individual performances at home, which were then mixed by our amazing audio engineers. These international performances have been accompanied by stunning imagery to help tell the story of the pieces. This online concert will be hosted and conducted by Ben England BEM and absolutely everybody is very welcome to attend.
