Tavener: The Protecting Veil
Charles Hazlewood and Matthew Barley are joined by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic and cellist, Josephine Knight to explore John Tavener's seminal work, The Protecting Veil. Tavener describes this work as trying to 'capture some of the almost cosmic power of the Mother of God'.
The programme also looks at a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic learning project focusing on The Protecting Veil, which was run alongside Discovering Music at the University of Salford.
