Two major choral works by Jonathan can be heard in Oxford and Cambridge on 14 March 2015. The Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus under their Music Director Tim Redmond present a performance of There Was a Child at the West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge. This moving work for soloists, chorus, childrens chorus and orchestra is a celebration of life, inspired by the tragedy of a young man who died too soon. Meanwhile in Oxford, the Oxford Bach Choir together with the London Mozart Players and conductor Nicolas Cleobury will give the third performance of Jonathan’s For An UnkNown Soldier, a work which commemorates the centenary of the First World War.    

The Hawaii Opera Theatre will be performing Jonathan Dove’s Siren Song in Honolulu on March 21, 22, 23, 27, and 28. Based on the true story of a British sailor who was deceived into believing he was exchanging letters with a professional model, the opera will be produced in a new venue in a warehouse in the Kaka’ako district. Tenor Val Rideout will be performing the lead role of the sailor Davey Palmer, alongside soprano Rachel Schutz and baritone Wes Mason. Click here to learn more and purchase tickets.
