One of the most popular composers of his generation, the evening includes 'Song for Athene', sung at the funeral of Diana Princess of Wales, 'The Protecting Veil', here performed by internationally reknowned cellist Raphael Wallfisch and the UK premiere of one of his last works, a meditation on three Scottish songs, commissioned by The Bach Choir.
