For a programme spanning Bach’s chorale Sleepers Wake written in 1731 to I am I say by composer Kate Whitley and poet Sabrina Mahfouz written last year, The Multi-Story Orchestra will be joined by a choir from local primary schools. Multi-Story’s previous performances of Kate Whitley’s works for children’s choir and orchestra have been hailed by The Telegraph as ‘moving, and beautifully performed’ and listed in their ‘five best classical music moments of 2015’.
