Song of the Sirens

Responses I 

 

Join us for the launch of Vox Urbane's Inaugural London Season: Responses. A series of three curated concerts which reflect upon past musical traditions and offer a new vision of what classical choral music can be, who it is for, and who it can represent.  

 

Responses I, the first concert in the Inaugural London Season, offers a vibrant and eclectic musical response to an uncertain world. The evening includes groundbreaking new vocal music including works by Björk, Imogen Heap, Lillie Harris, Shruti Rajasekar, Joanna Marsh and Caroline Shaw, and a world premiere from Barbara Dudek.  

 

Dudek’s ’Song of the Sirens’ is a sonic exploration of Odysseus’s journey back to Ithaca taken from Homer’s ’The Oddysey’. This piece will bring together extended vocal techniques, gestural movement and electronics to immerse the audience in a multi-disciplinary mythical epic.
