David Lang: Crowd Out
08 June 2014 at 2.30pm and 4.30pm
David Lang: Crowd Out
Millennium Point Curzon Street, Birmingham, West Midlands, B4 7XG United Kingdom http://www.millenniumpoint.org.uk/BCMG 1000 individuals give the world premiere performances of Crowd Out, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang‘s new piece for 1000 voices, in one of the largest vocal events Birmingham has ever seen!
Experience the first-ever performances of a brand new piece of music by one of the world’s leading composers, led by Simon Halsey, one of the world’s top choral conductors.
Influences for Lang’s Crowd Out encompass a wide range of public singing and vocalising, including football chanting – a common theme being the sense of community created through ‘performance’. The result is an entirely new kind of piece that anyone can perform.
Musical America’s 2013 Composer of the Year, the passionate, prolific, Pulitzer Prize-winning David Lang is one of America’s most performed composers. BCMG has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Lang – his last BCMG commission The Passing Measures received huge acclaim and was subsequently recorded on Cantaloupe Records, a recording which was named one of the best CDs of the year by The New Yorker.David Lang : Crowd Out
