Overview
Dame Sarah Connolly has inspired many composers to write works with her expressive artistry in mind. She opens with a new song cycle created for her by John Paul Jones (formerly of Led Zeppelin) and continues with works specially composed for her by Bob Chilcott and Helen Grime. The personal connections extend to Adieu Solace by Judith Bingham, Dame Sarah’s friend since their time as members of the BBC Singers.
