Perfformiadau o Julia Wolfe yn BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

Grit courses through Julia Wolfe’s *Anthracite Fields*, her Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio for choir and ensemble that serves as a musical memorial to American miners and their struggle. *‘I guess I have a bias towards the grit.'* – Julia Wolfe

Wolfe was two blocks from the Twin Towers when the planes hit on September 11, 2001. *Big Beautiful Dark and Scary* is the sound of that aftermath: an ominous, awesome wall of sound.

Guitarist Sean Shibe collaborates with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra to present an intimate programme at the RNCM examining the pageantry, rites and emotions of funeral music, ancient and modern.
