In partnership with Sundays at Six
We are pleased to showcase the newest cohort of the Picture Gallery Composer-in-Residence Programme, presenting new music inspired by our beautiful Picture Gallery and its collection. Curated by composer Dr Nathan James Dearden and our Arts Collection Team, we are thrilled to showcase two of the six successful applicants and their new works written especially for the applauded Choir of Royal Holloway, under the guidance of their conductor Rupert Gough.
This event is part of the Choir of Royal Holloway's Sunday Afternoon Series.
