WHAT IS OOTD?
THE OUT OF THE DARKNESS
Out of the Darkness is a highly accessible and powerful new composition by Julian Marshall. The work originated from the poem ‘Aus dem Dunkel’ by Gertrude Kolmar – the remarkable German Jewish poet who was killed in Auschwitz in 1943. It takes the form of a cantata for chamber choir, mezzo soprano soloist and two amplified ‘cellos. Its world premier launch - featuring a stellar cast of performers – took place in March 2009 at Winchester Cathedral (19th) and St Gabriel’s Church, London SW1 (25th).
Following the March concerts, the work was recorded for the new British independent label MMC Recordings and will be released in November 2009.
This will be accompanied by three U K concerts (Brighton 20th, Totnes 28th and London December 16th).
There are ambitious plans underway for extensive touring of ‘Out of the Darkness’ in 2010/11 - both in the UK and abroad. See Concerts and News for details.
