RENEWAL

Arrangements can give music fresh and powerful new leases of life as familiar sounds are made new. In this evocative programme, which includes a selection from the United Strings of Europe’s critically-acclaimed second album Renewal, vocal and chamber works are transformed for string orchestra.
