The Ancient Mariner

Inspired by Samuel Coleridge’s great epic poem of the same name, this concerto evokes in music the tale of the old mariner and his fatal act—the killing of the albatross that had saved their ship in the hostile seas off Cape Horn. Yet, as he alone bears witness to this tragedy, how can we be sure that what he tells is true? Could he not have invented it all?


Lawrence Power, the incomparable violist, will try to convince us…
