You'll hear it hear first, literally! We'll be hearing the collaborative products of five rising young composers in this first "series" of a larger commissioning project called The Corona Cycles - pieces created during this extraordinary moment in history and paired with pieces of visual and literary art.

Paired with these shiny, new works is Benjamin Britten's first cello suite, a truly narrative work that plumbs the depths of the human emotional experience.

What's the music?
