The Programme
Experience the visceral sounds of ice and plastic alongside evocations of disappearing whalesong and bioluminescence, with the collective Tangram, our Associate Artists at LSO St Luke’s. Bringing together contemporary music from across four continents, Tangram presents a powerful reflection on the global issue of climate change. They perform a special programme of music by Liza Lim, George Crumb, Dai Fujikura, Chen Yi, Alex Ho and Sun Keting, alongside the world premiere of a new commission by Zhenyan Li.
