Subject: Conquering the Antarctic - UK concert tour
To: Alexandra Marshall <amarshall@cls.co.uk>
I wanted to draw your attention to our UK concert tour Conquering the
Antarctic, which aims to celebrate the centenary of Captain Scott's
arrival at the South Pole through music, words and photographs.
Leading UK chamber orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, in partnership
with the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, are
embarking on a landmark concert tour in February 2012 to celebrate the
centenary of the expedition of Captain Scott to the South Pole.
Celebrating the epic adventure of the explorers, including
Cheltenham-born Edward Wilson, the orchestra will perform extracts
from Vaughan Williams' iconic film score Scott of the Antarctic,
interspersed with moving readings from Scott's diary and letters. The
concert includes the world premiere of Cecilia McDowall's new piece,
Seventy Degrees Below Zero, setting music to words inspired by Scott's
poignant final letters, as well as projections of stunning expedition
photographs by Herbert Ponting, restored to their original glory.
I am attaching a press release which details all the concert dates and
venues for the tour.
If you would like some flyers to display/distribute for the tour or
require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
All best
Alexandra
