All Time is Eternally Present is a brand new concert conducted by the internationally renowned Pekka Kuusisto. The concert will be streamed on 26 February at 8.00pm and will be the first of many planned for 2021.
The programme will feature Saxophonist and Radio 3 presenter Jess Gillam performing Michael Nyman’s Where the Bee Dances as well as a new and powerful composition from Daniel Kidane whose Piece Be Still creates a sense of inner stillness and calm which is very much needed at this time.
