The Eternal Light Tour
By The Rambert Dance Company
We’ve teamed up with EMI Classics and Rambert Dance Company to offer you the chance to win one of two pairs of tickets to the dance Eternal Light by the Rambert Dance Company at a venue of your choice and a copy of Eternal Light: A Requiem, a new work by the award-winning British composer and internationally acclaimed broadcaster, Howard Goodall.
Well-known as the composer of the themes to Mr. Bean, Black Adder, Vicar of Dibley and Red Dwarf, Goodall is also a prodigious composer of choral music and this unusual setting of the liturgical service is performed by Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford and London Musici, conducted by Stephen Darlington with soloists Natasha Marsh, Alfie Boe and Christopher Maltman.
Commissioned by Mark Stephenson on behalf of London Musici to celebrate the orchestra’s 20th anniversary, Eternal Light: A Requiem is a stand-alone choral work that will have its London premiere in November 2008 in an exciting collaborative version for choir, soloists, orchestra and dance. The dance, Eternal Light, commissioned by Sadler’s Wells Theatre, will be performed by Rambert Dance Company, its associate orchestra London Musici and Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford. Rambert Dance Company and its artistic director, Mark Baldwin, worked closely with Howard Goodall from the conception of the project to find ways in which the themes of the Requiem might be explored further in dance.
The result of this collaboration is a work that should appeal to a broad-based audience. Following the premiere, Rambert Dance Company will tour Eternal Light nationally across the UK. Over seventy dates have already been confirmed, including the London premiere, which will take place at Sadler’s Wells on Armistice Day (November 11), the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I.
We have two pairs of tickets up for grabs. For your chance to win a pair of tickets for Eternal Light and your very own copy of Howard Goodall’s Eternal Light: A Requiem, simply answer the question below:
