About This Event

Even Kaija Saariaho鈥檚 smallest works contain multitudes, and in her vocal music she transfers her experience with electronic sound into something intensely human. 鈥淚 think every singer always brings something new for them, and that鈥檚 what makes it interesting鈥� she says.

The programme includes the UK premiere of Reconnaissance (2020), a powerful 鈥渟cience-fiction madrigal鈥� inspired by images of Mars and the fragility of human ambition.

This day of events will now take place on Sunday 7 May, previously scheduled for Saturday 6 May, in respect of His Majesty King Charles III's Coronation.

Broadcast on 20 May from 8.25pm, on 成人快手 Radio 3.
