The Hallé & Angélique Kidjo - Philip Glass's Ifé Songs
Over the course of three days, in collaboration with the RNCM, the Hallé brings you a festival celebrating American composer Philip Glass's best-loved works.
Angélique Kidjo – singer-songwriter, Grammy Award winner, activist – has a star-studded career spanning five decades.
Tonight, she steps onto The Bridgewater Hall stage alongside Robert Ames, a skilled interpreter of Glass’s work and ‘a super connector in modern music’ (The Guardian), to perform the UK premiere of Ifé Songs – written especially for her.
The composer said of the work: ‘Angélique, together we have built a bridge that no one has walked on before.’
Days and Nights in Rocinha is a thrilling tribute to the Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood. In true Glass style, it begins softly, slowly building and developing with increasingly complex percussive rhythms until it reaches a glorious climax.
Glass’s Eleventh Symphony – sometimes reflective, sometimes fizzing with rhythmic textures, always fascinating – closes the programme.
