A concert that promotes and presents the finest achievements of young people. Sounds New has just established a permanent link with Poland’s International Competition of Contemporary Chamber Music, providing the Grand Prix winners with a performance platform in the UK. Teresa Malik is the first Grand Prix winner to receive such a platform. The Warsaw Boys Choir is one of Europe’s finest choirs and they have won many awards, not least for their recent recording of George Crumb’s Star Child for which it won a Grammy. Finally, Canterbury’s own flagship youth choir performs music on its own and together with its Polish compatriots.
A Part of the Polska Year in the UK 2009-2010!
This concert is supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London.
