Presented by Fiona Talkington.

Today's programme includes the Terzetto for two violins and viola, and the Quartet op 61, which was written to rather a tight deadline as Dvorak had become so engrossed in the opera he was writing that he had forgotten the imminent premiere performance of a promised new quartet!

SAT 15:00 World Routes (b00vhwtf)
More highlights from WOMEX, the annual gathering of the world music industry, which takes place for the second year running in Copenhagen and showcases the newest bands and the freshest talent in world music. This week Lucy Duran introduces performances by the New York-based, Peruvian-inspired retro rockers Chicha Libre, and the Malian dancer, actress, and singer-songwriter, Fatoumata Diawara. Plus, the ambassador of Congolese Rumba, Papa Wemba, is in town celebrating his 40-year career. Producer James Parkin.

Chicha Libre were inspired by the Amazonian music craze that shares its name with the liquor favoured by the Incas and still very popular throughout Peru. The Brooklyn-based band mix Latin rhythms, surf music and psychedelic pop, drawing inspiration from chicha, a form of Peruvian music that emerged in the early '70s, loosely derived from Colombian accordion-driven cumbias but incorporating Andean melodies and Cuban son, amongst other things.

Fatoumata Diawara was born in the Ivory Coast of Malian parents, and achieved local fame as a dancer before moving to Bamako in her early teens and starting an acting career. Moving to Paris in her early twenties, she began recording and touring with Oumou Sangare. She soon developed her own music, composing, arranging and playing her own material, blending Wassalou traditions of Southern Mali with wider influences.

SAT 18:00 Opera on 3 (b00vhwvj)
Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos

Donald Macleod is at the Wales Millennium Centre for Richard Strauss's paradoxically light-hearted confection "Ariadne auf Naxos". Welsh National Opera's revived production by director Neil Armfield spins a web of contradictions and contrasts, in which boisterous comedy and tragedy collide. Along the way, Strauss manipulates the characters appearing in a Viennese businessman's theatrical entertainment, to explore some fascinating themes: the spiritual versus the material world, the nature of theatre, love and death and, ultimately the power of music.

Mezzo soprano Sarah Connolly returns to the role of the gifted and much put upon young Composer. The star of the Composer's masterpiece, the Prima Donna, later Ariadne, is soprano Orla Boyan, making her debut with WNO. Also making their debuts are Ricardo Tamura in the tenor role of Bacchus and soprano Gillian Keith in the pyrotechnic role of Zerbinetta. WNO's music director, Lothar Koenigs, conducts.

SAT 22:00 Between the Ears (b00w008r)
A Moment of Mishearing

Indian novelist, critic and Professor of Contemporary Literature at UEA Amit Chaudhuri, also a classically trained singer of Hindustani music, presents a Between the Ears in which he reflects on the nature of music and how it has a common root in both eastern and western traditions.

"I could hear certain Indian ragas in what Hendrix was playing - like Dhani, Jog, Malkauns - not because I'd gone looking for them, but in a way that one becomes aware, one day, of another dimension to an outline: like, for instance, the duck-rabbit, Wittgenstein's famous mutant"

He explores his own musical education, weaving in references to Tagore, Wittgenstein, Cage, Magritte and Frankie Goes to Hollywood - "an excellent song; but, to my ears, noise, and noise I still wouldn't have any idea what to do with."

and tells how chance mishearings of popular western tunes led him into the world of MySpace and YouTube and a second career as a successful recording and performing artist

"The typical hotel Indian classical muzak was my ambience - the santoor, whose tinny, glossy notes I was trying successfully to ignore, when it seemed to launch, without prior notice, into 'Auld Lang Syne'. I listened intently; but, in a few moments, the music had gone back to being the raga it was, Bhupali, a pentatonic identical to the Highlands scale from which the Scottish melody was derived. My project had such non-serious beginnings".

Report on Installation: ‘Beating Tones and Flapping Wings’ by John Wynne and Denise Hawrysio

John Cage: Radio Music
Simon Limbrick, Anton Lukoszevieze, Philip Thomas, Kerry Yong, Richard Whitelaw, Frank Gratkowski, Tim Steiner, Andrew Sparling (radios)

Programme Note:
John Cage didn't like radios. He owned a small pocket transistor that he used for listening to the news each morning. And that was the entirety of his wireless listening. His response to his dislike of radios was to write pieces for them. The first of these was Imaginary Landscape No.4 for 12 radios and 24 performers, composed in 1951, although he had included a radio in Credo in Us, in 1948, the first piece to use a radio as a musical instrument. Radio Music was composed in 1956. It is scored for one to eight performers. Cage gives 'time brackets' and numbers that refer to 'tunings' – an appropriate musical term – he doesn't mention frequency or wavelengths.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00vhwzd)
Zdenka Fantlova

Michael Berkeley's guest on Remembrance Sunday is the Czech-born former actress Zdenka Fantlova, a survivor of several infamous Nazi concentration camps including Terezin, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, in which she lost all other members of her family. Now in her 80s, she talks movingly about her experiences in Terezin, where she was among a vibrant community of artists, writers, actors, musicians and composers, who were encouraged by Nazi propagandists to exercise their creativity in performances and artistic events. She recalls standing next to the great Czech conductor Karel Ancerl as they worked in the camp kitchens, and happily discussing music by Dvorak and Smetana. Later, after the community was deported to Auschwitz, where many of them died, she was behind Ancerl in the selection queue, and saw his wife and their baby son being sent to the 'left' - the gas chambers -, while she and Ancerl were among the luckier deportees who went to the right and had a chance to survive. She also tells how her knowledge of English (picked up from hit songs of the time like 'You Are My Lucky Star') literally saved her life when, on the point of death in Bergen-Belsen, she was able to persuade a British soldier to get her out of the barracks and to hospital in the nick of time. One of the most striking aspects of her character is her amazing will to survive, and she resolutely refuses to see herself as a victim.As she tells Michael, although her terrible experiences were man-made, rather than a natural disaster, she believes that they nevertheless enriched her life.

Her music choices include works by Czech composers Dvorak, Smetana and her fellow Terezin inmate Gideon Klein, as well as a Chopin study, a Mozart symphony and her father's favourite, Strauss's Radetzky March.

SUN 17:00 Discovering Music (b00vhx0m)
Schumann Piano Quintet

Stephen Johnson visits the Mananan Festival at the Erin Arts Centre on the Isle of Man for this weekend's Discovering Music programme. He's joined there by The Elias Quartet (one of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists) as well as pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips for a detailed breakdown of one of Robert Schumann's most popular and enduring works - the Piano Quintet in E flat, Op.44.

Schumann was the first romantic composer to pair the piano with the string quartet, but the combination was really taken up in the mid 19th century by notable composers like Brahms, Franck, Dvorak and Elgar. The work was composed in just a few weeks in the autumn of 1842, during Schumann's so-called "chamber music year." Prior to that year Schumann had completed no chamber music at all, with the exception of an early piano quartet in 1829. However, during his year-long concentration on the genre he wrote three string quartets, a piano trio and a piano quartet as well as this popular piano quintet. The first performance of the work was given by the composer's wife, Clara Schumann, at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in January 1843.

A Gloucestershire village reveals Tolstoy's philosophical legacy a century after his death. Historian Mike Berlin visits Whiteway to uncover the great writer's influence far beyond Russia.

Tolstoy is best known as the writer of two of the greatest novels of world literature - War and Peace and Anna Karenina - and it is easy to forget the immense impact of his Christian-Anarchist philosophy both in Russia and in the West during the first two decades of the twentieth century. To mark the hundredth annivesary of the writer's death, Mike Berlin visits the only remaining British community founded on Tolstoyan principles. He is shown round the village of Whiteway by local people including one 86 year old resident whose memories stretch back to a time when the village provided a haven for anarchists, refugees from the Spanish Civil War and conscientious objectors from the Second World War. He hears how utopian communities generally collapse because of disagreements over three key issues - sex, money and who does (or does not do) the washing up, and he explores how Whiteway has managed to survive. Beyond the Cotswolds, he talks with scholars about the reasons why, far more than Russia, Britain offered fertile soil for the planting of Tolstoyan ideas and how these ideas continue to flourish in unexpected ways today.

Producer : Beaty Rubens.

London Jazz Festival 2010

14/11/2010

Join Claire Martin with a European Theme on this week's Jazz Line-Up featuring Belgian pianist Eric Legnini and Trio. Legnini has a fine talent as much as a writer as in interpreting the standards. Also appearing: Italian saxophonist Stefano Di Battista and Quartet - a man who credits Art Pepper as his inspiration to play jazz. And there's a solo spot from UK-based pianist Alex Wilson whose Latin piano style is both infectious and addictive.

Claire Martin will present all these differing styles on Jazz Line-Up on the first of two exclusive programmes from this year's London Jazz Festival.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b00vw4f3)
Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod reveals some of the wealth of music English composer Benjamin Britten wrote during his remarkably successful career in the light of two enduring influences - his life partner, the tenor Peter Pears and his beloved native county of Suffolk.

The BBC helped advance Britten's career by broadcasting two chamber pieces he had composed while still a student at the Royal College of Music. He was soon writing soundtracks for the GPO Film Unit as well as incidental music for the theatre, TV and radio. In programme 1, Donald introduces music from those early years including one of Britten's best known soundtracks for the GPO - 'Night Mail', and two works written during his wartime years in America - the Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, written for Pears, and his first opera, based on the story of the mythological lumberjack, Paul Bunyan.

Barber/Schuman Centenary

Episode 1

How do you link Barry Manilow and Alan Greenspan (Chairman of the USA Federal Reserve till 2007) in a Radio 3 programme? Easy - both are graduates of the prestigious New York "Juilliard School of Music" (Alan Greenspan studied the saxophone with Stan Getz). And as part of a week celebrating two giants of American Music - Samuel Barber and William Schuman - we are including graduates from both the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute. These two music education establishments are connected with both composers, and through their doors has emerged so much musical talent which we celebrate this week.

In today's programme, Penny Gore presents two instrumental soloists from the Juilliard School - pianist Stephen Hough in Greig's Piano Concerto, and violinist James Ehnes in Brahms Violin concerto.

Also in today's programme, Barber's Adagio for Strings, William Schuman's 5th Symphony, and songs by Barber, specially recorded for the programme by the BBC Singers and Bob Chilcott, and a piece by Barber for orchestra called "Souvenirs" - a series of dance movements, also specially recorded for the programme, this time by the BBC Philharmonic and Clark Rundell.

Precis for the week:
2010 is the centenary of the births of two American giants of music - Samuel Barber and William Schuman.

In the afternoons this week we will be hearing two symphonies by each composer across the week and more music in performances specially recorded for these programmes.

We will also hear performances from graduates of two of the most influential musical establishments on the eastern seaboard of the USA - the Juilliard School of Music in New York and the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, with which Schuman and Barber are associated.

William Schuman's musical career began as a teenager in 1920s New York collaborating with Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls, Baby, It's Cold Outside), but then the curious teenager took a chance and went to a classical concert in the Carnegie Hall. That was it - "The visual thing alone was astonishing. But the sound! I was overwhelmed. I had never heard anything like it. The very next day I decided to become a composer." - which he did, dropping out of business school and eventually becoming the president of the Juilliard School of music (1945-1961), where he founded the Juilliard Quartet.

Samuel Barber was born in Pennsylvania and became interested in music at an early age. Aged 9, he wrote a letter to his mother:

"Dear Mother: I have written to tell you my worrying secret. Now don't cry when you read it because it is neither yours nor my fault. I suppose I will have to tell it now, without any nonsense. To begin with I was not meant to be an athlete. I was meant to be a composer, and will be I'm sure. I'll ask you one more thing .- Don't ask me to try to forget this unpleasant thing and go play football."

By 14 Samuel Barber was enrolled in the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, and by his late teens was composing seriously and had early successes - maybe his best known piece the "Adagio for Strings" was arranged from an existing quartet when Barber was 28.

Andrew Marvell

Matthew Sweet and biographer Nigel Smith discuss the 17th Century poet Andrew Marvell, whose personal life is shrouded in mystery. A prominent civil servant under Cromwell and regarded as a father to the liberal tradition, Marvell is also suspected of being a spy, and a secret homosexual.

Nigel Smith, Professor of English at Princeton University and President of the Andrew Marvell Society, has spent many years researching the archives to produce the fullest account yet of the metaphysical poet's life and work, Andrew Marvell: The Chamelon. From his upbringing in Hull and early employment as a tutor to an aristocrat on the Grand Tour, to the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

Marvell's most famous poems are To His Coy Mistress, The Garden, An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland, and the country house poem Upon Appleton House.

Producer: Fiona McLean.

Glasper, who has been described as one of the most promising pianists of his generation, works regularly with hip hop artists including Mos Def, Bilal and The Roots. His trio, featuring drummer Mark Colenburg and bassist Derrick Hodge, is firmly rooted in the classic jazz piano trio tradition. But Glasper's compositions, and the group's approach to rhythm and group interplay, are influenced by contemporary hip-hop and soul music.

Songlines

Elias String Quartet

Songlines
Sean Rafferty introduces this week's concerts recorded in the Guildhall in Londonderry at this year's City of Song Festival and featuring music for voice, piano and string quartet as well as music by Benjamin Britten.
BBC Radio 3 New Generation artist, the Elias Quartet, is the quartet in residence and the musicians are joined by four of Britains leading singers: Ann Murray, mezzo-soprano; James Gilchrist, tenor; Joan Rodgers, soprano and Roderick Williams, baritone.

Roderick Williams; pianist, Christopher Glynn and the Elias Quartet open this week's series of recitals with a performance Barber's Dover Beach - the sea is used as a metaphor throughout Matthew Arnold's poem and Barber's music reflects the sonorous but bleak imagery of the words. The sombre tone continues with Bejamin Britten's most uncompromisingly sombre song-cycle, Songs and proverbs of William Blake - the song-cycle was written for Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and the texts were chosen by Peter Pears. Schubert's song, Der Tod und das Mädchen - where death comforts a young maiden - precedes the Quartet in D minor, D. 810, also known as Der Tod und das Mädchen because the sublime second movement uses the song as the basis of the theme and variations.


TUE 14:30 Afternoon Concert (b00vhxvz)

Episode 2

Penny Gore presents a week of programmes celebrating the centenary of Samuel Barber and William Schuman.

Marriage

When the screenwriter and novelist Frank Cottrell Boyce - this year's Thinker-in-residence at the Free Thinking Festival - was asked by Radio 3 which topic he would like to be the subject of a public debate, he replied "marriage". It's timely choice - few can deny that the status of the institution is undergoing change. Even though a royal wedding is now planned for next year, the actual number of people getting married has slumped to its lowest level since records began in 1862.

Should we be panicking? Is this an irreversible social fact because so many of the reasons for getting married have vanished - or do we need to act to restore a pillar of society dangerously close to crumbling altogether?

On stage with Frank to argue over the issue in front of an audience at the Free Thinking festival of ideas are Guy Opperman, local Conservative MP for Hexham, the journalist Shiv Malik, family policy campaigner Patricia Morgan, and social historian Claire Langhamer. In the chair is Night Waves presenter Anne McElvoy.

Producer: Tim Prosser.

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)

Episode 3

By 1952, when the Aldeburgh Festival was in its 5th year, Britten was nearing forty. By then, he and Pears were very much part of the fabric of the community there. Donald Macleod introduces Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac, which was premiered at the festival that year, extracts from two more operas - the first based on Henry James' ghostly novella Turn of the Screw and the second on Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, plus another fairy-tale work - the ballet Prince of the Pagodas, complete with magical evocation of the Balinese gamelan.


WED 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00vhxzr)
Songlines

Joan Rodgers, Christopher Glynn

The second concert from the Songlines Series at this year's City of Song Festival in Derry features soprano, Joan Rodgers with pianist Christopher Glynn and the Elias Quartet. Schoenberg's Brettl-Lieder are an early example of the emerging from devoted to light-hearted social satire known as cabaret. The songs are fun with some risqué double entendre. The Poet's Echo is Britten's setting of six texts by Pushkin. Britten felt that setting the songs would help his "obstinately bad Russian". La bonne chanson by Fauré is a joyful setting for voice, quartet and piano of nine texts by Verlaine on the them of love and happiness. The concert ends with a selection of Irish songs arranged by Herbert Hughes. Introduced by Sean Rafferty.

OAE - Cherubini, Mehul, Berlioz, Mozart

Presented by Catherine Bott

French connections - a concert of Cherubini, Berlioz and Mozart, given at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall by the OAE.
Little known he may be now, but Cherubini was highly rated by none other than Beethoven, with the composer regarding him as the greatest of his contemporaries. The Overture and an Aria from his opera Medea, which was championed by Maria Callas, no less, represent him here. Cherubini's contemporary Etienne Méhul is perhaps even less known now but again, was highly regarded in his day. His noble Symphony 4 is performed this evening. The concert is rounded off with Berlioz's tour de force for soprano and Mozart's Paris Symphony.

Craig Raine, Uncle Boonmee, John Maeda, Scott Atran

Philip Dodd talks to the poet Craig Raine, who has published his first collection in ten years, How Snow Falls (Atlantic Books), which addresses big themes of death, sex, memory and desire.

Maria Delgado reviews the film Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives, the surprise winner of the Palme D'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, made by the Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Philip meets the design guru John Maeda, President of the Rhode Island School of Design and co-founder of the internet virtual world Second Life. His work in design and technology explores the area where the two fields merge. Philip goes to the Riflemaker Gallery in London where Maeda is dispensing wisdom from a sandpit, as part of an art installation.

Scott Atran is director of research in anthropology at the National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris. His new book Talking to the Enemy attempts to answer the question: Why would someone take their own life through suicide bombing? He joins Philip to discuss the motivation of terrorists and why peer pressure is more important than religious ideology in understanding the rise of violent extremism.

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)

Episode 4

In September 1960, Britten had the good fortune to meet the Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich who became a close friend and inspiration behind five works for cello, and a song cycle for him and his wife, the singer Galina Vishnevskaya. In the fifth programme, Donald introduces the final song from the cycle - The Poet's Echo - together with part of the Cello Suite No.2, plus an extract from the intensely moving War Requiem and the second of Britten's church parables, The Burning Fiery Furnace.


THU 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b00vj035)
Songlines

Ann Murray, Iain Burnside

Ann Murray is joined by pianist, Iain Burnside and the Elias Quartet in music for voice, string quartet and piano in this the penultimate offering from the Songlines series recorded at the Guildhall in Derry. Chausson's Chanson Perpetuelle is a setting of a text by the symbolist poet, Chrales Cros, and the poem is a woman's lament for the lover who has left her. Britten's Cabaret Songs are to texts by his mentor, W. H. Auden, and they show both poet and composer in high spirits. Britten's A Charm of Lullabies was written in December 1947 for the mezzo-soprano Nancy Evans and is a much more gentle cycle than the Cabaret Songs. The Elias Quartet join Ann Murray for Respighi's intensely expressive setting of Il Tramonto - The Sunset by Shelley. The concert ends with the beautiful String Quartet by Ravel, of which Debussy urged him not to change a note.

Presented by Penny Gore.

Thursday Opera Matinee - Verdi's Ernani.

Elvira loves Ernani, a young hot headed brigand, but she is engaged to the elderly Don Ruy Gomez de Silva. More than that, she has also attracted the amourous attentions of Don Carlo, the King, and future Holy Roman Emperor.

Thus the scene is set for violence, revenge, conspiracy, mercy and the fickle hand of fate as the three men compete for Elvira.

In this performance from Chicago's Lyric Opera last November, Salvatore Licitra is Ernani, Sondra Radvanovsky is Elvira, Don Carlo, Boaz Daniel and Giacomo Prestia, Silva. Roberto Palumbo conducts.

Walton, Britten, Elgar

Part 1

Presented by Catherine Bott, live from City Halls, Glasgow.

The BBC SSO with a programme of English classics by Walton, Britten and Elgar.

Martyn Brabbins kicks off the BBC SSO's British music series with Elgar's 'concert overture' In the South, actually a big, dynamic symphonic movement. Britten's Les illuminations, settings of poems by Rimbaud, encompasses an enormous dramatic range, from biting wit to deep pathos. Opening the second half of the concert, Susan Gritton gives the first concert performance of three extra songs that Britten left out of the published score of Les illuminations, which have recently been orchestrated by Colin Matthews.

The concert ends with a fine symphony that has been unfairly neglected since its unsuccessful 1960 premiere. However, Walton's Second Symphony has been making a comeback in recent years as an eloquent late flowering of the composer's inspiration.

THU 19:50 Twenty Minutes (b00vy0qp)
Rimbaud in London's Desolation Row

In the back streets behind London's Kings Cross station, in a rather grimy street, stands the last London home of Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, the notorious poet lovers. Despite an anonymous exterior 9, Royal College Street, is both shrine and memorial to the poet lovers, who went on an orgy of drinking and debauchery during their infamous sojourn in England. Simon Callow draws on his great knowledge of the two poets, and also invites comment from Kings Cross Poet Aiden Dunn and Graham Henderson, who has devoted himself to trying to turn the house into a cultural centre.

It was here, in 1873, that the couple moved into their final home together, a garret room that would see both important literary work completed, and more than one violent argument take place. It was also the scene of the final fight that sent Verlaine, furious and wounded, to abandon his love and flee back to the Continent, where their final tragic confrontation would take place.

London was both refuge and inspiration to the two provocatures and these walls witnessed the love, turmoil and destruction that followed thier last fight.

THU 20:10 Performance on 3 (b00vy0qr)
Walton, Britten, Elgar

Part 2

Presented by Catherine Bott, live from City Halls, Glasgow.

The BBC SSO with a programme of English classics by Walton, Britten and Elgar.

Martyn Brabbins kicks off the BBC SSO's British music series with Elgar's 'concert overture' In the South, actually a big, dynamic symphonic movement. Britten's Les illuminations, settings of poems by Rimbaud, encompasses an enormous dramatic range, from biting wit to deep pathos. Opening the second half of the concert, Susan Gritton gives the first concert performance of three extra songs that Britten left out of the published score of Les illuminations, which have recently been orchestrated by Colin Matthews.

The concert ends with a fine symphony that has been unfairly neglected since its unsuccessful 1960 premiere. However, Walton's Second Symphony has been making a comeback in recent years as an eloquent late flowering of the composer's inspiration.

Free Thinking 2010

Ben Franklin and Shopping

Kevin McCloud is the celebrated presenter of Channel 4's Grand Designs, an inspirational figure to home builders across the country and and according to Building Design newspaper, 'the most influential figure in British architecture" . But in fact Kevin studied history of art and worked as a theatre designer before he became a television star, and in addition to his TV celebrity status he is an honorary fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

For this event at BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking festival of ideas, Kevin takes off his trademark hard hat, takes a moment out of his schedule of site visits and steps up to the lectern to deliver a lecture entitled Ben Franklin And Shopping. His message is that people need to rediscover the unfashionable value of craftsmanship, for McCloud believes it is the only way to match creativity and excellent design with the sustainable materials of the future.

Recorded in front of an audience at The Sage Gateshead.

Producer/Kirsty Pope.

In the fifth programme Donald Macleod introduces an extract from that work which features the last major role he would write for his life partner Peter Pears, plus a movement from one of his rare late chamber works, the string quartet no.3, and a complete performance of his dramatic cantata Phaedra, sung by its dedicatee, Janet Baker.

The series ends with Vaughan Williams's famous song cycle for tenor, piano and string quartet On Wenlock Edge to poems from A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad. Introduced by Sean Rafferty.

FRI 23:15 World on 3 (b00vj08q)
Creole Choir of Cuba

Lopa Kothari with the latest sounds from around the globe and the Creole Choir of Cuba in session.

The Creole Choir of Cuba, in the UK for their appearances at the 2010 London Jazz Festival, tell the stories of their Haitian ancestors who were brought to Cuba to work in near slave conditions in the sugar and coffee plantations, through a vibrant mix of singing and percussion.

The Choir sing in Creole, Cuba's second language, spoken by almost a million people, a pragmatic fusion of African, French and other languages. It's the language of a people twice exiled: first to Haiti from Africa through the iniquitous slave trade; then from Haiti to Cuba tricked into second slavery by their French masters after the Haitian Revolution of 1790. Other Haitians arrived in the 20th century fleeing political upheaval, poverty and oppression during the barbaric regime of Papa Doc Duvalier which held power from the 1950s to 70s, marked by reigns of terror and the brutality of his private militia, the Tonton Macoutes.

The Choir - five men and five women - decided to re-forge the resistance songs and laments of their forebears, to celebrate the history of their Haitian descendents enslaved to the Caribbean from West Africa. To the songs that had been passed down in their families since the early 19th century, they added more modern Haitian sounds.
