It is 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, which for many was the symbol of the oppressive Eastern Bloc. In this concert Pegasus explores music which has emerged from post-Soviet Eastern Europe, alongside the 16-part Der Abend by Strauss – the epitome of German high romanticism before the War.
2016 will mark the 21st birthday of Pegasus and we are preparing special programmes to mark the occasion, including performances of major works by Monteverdi and J.S. Bach.
Pegasus returned victorious from the Florilège International Choral Competition in Tours, France at the end of May, having won the prestigious Chamber Choir and Francis Poulenc prizes.
