New Frontiers: From Dusk ’til Dawn – City of London Sinfonia
New Frontiers: From Dusk til Dawn is a journey through sound, sleep, and starlight
Nightfall. Moonrise. First light.
A journey through sound, sleep, and starlight.
This atmospheric programme drifts through starry skies and moonlit reflections. From William Herschel’s Symphony No.2, written by the astronomer who discovered Uranus, to Messiaen’s Interstellar Call and Debussy’s Clair de Lune, the music carries us through night’s quiet mysteries.
Experience bold voices like Eleanor Alberga, Hannah Kendall, and Dobrinka Tabakova, alongside Vivaldi’s haunting La Notte and Mozart’s glimmering Serenata Notturna. Music made for moonlight, performed in one of London’s most immersive spaces.
