Errollyn Wallen: Rapture
Errollyn Wallen: Dervish
Errollyn Wallen: The Warm and the Cold
Errollyn Wallen: Peace on Earth
Errollyn Wallen: Inherit the World 

A lunchtime concert shining the spotlight on the multi award-winning Belize-born British composer and performer, Errollyn Wallen “renaissance woman of contemporary British music” (The Observer). One of the top 20 most performed living composers of classical music in the world, Wallen was the first Black woman to have a work featured in the Proms and the first woman to receive an Ivor Novello Award for Classical Music for her body of work. 

Matthew Sharp, a long-time collaborator with this prolific composer, joins forces with Irish pianist, Dearbhla Brosnan, for a selection of works including Dervish, a work commissioned by this joyous artist lauded for his ‘freewheeling exuberance and blistering virtuosity’ (BBC Music Magazine). 

On this special occasion, we are delighted to partner with Sing Ireland for a special performance of Wallen’s Ínherit the World, a specially commissioned song for the climate change conference, COP 26, 2021. Under the baton of Irish conductor, Patrick Barrett, who led the world première of the work in Glasgow, the Irish Youth Training Choir will perform the first Irish performance of this powerful work, in addition to another equally effective work from the pen of Wallen, Peace on Earth. 

Presented in partnership with The Windmill Quarter and Sing Ireland
