 21st June, at 8 pm, St. James' Church, Piccadilly, London
Isis Chamber Orchestra, conductor Jacques Cohen
Arvo Pärt - Lennart: in memoriam (British première)
This work is dedicated to the memory of Lennart Meri, the Estonian president (1929 - 2006).
Originally founded by the conductor and composer Jacques Cohen in 1993 as an orchestra for conservatoire graduates, the Isis Ensemble was launched as a fully professional orchestra, comprising the very cream of London musicians, in 2005. The group has collaborated with Diana Burrell, James Bowman and Simon Bainbridge amongst many others. In 2005 the Ensemble worked with the Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, in a residency to celebrate his 70th Birthday.
