Star trumpeter Imogen 
Whitehead will be performing a movement from Stephen Dodgson’s Trumpet Concerto as part of a concert that launches ‘Connection’, her online album of works composed especially for her by a number of celebrated, renowned composers.
She performs alongside pianist Jennifer Walsh in the version for piano. (The album version is the orchestral version performed with Britten Sinfonia.)
The programme will include works by Sally Beamish, Roxanna Panufnik, Stephen Dodgson, Peter Maxwell Davies, Charlotte Harding, Andy Scott and Simon Hancock, as well as conversations with some of the composers.
This will be an un-ticketed event. Donations will be welcome afterwards and a share of the proceeds will go to the Christopher Horn Trust and to St Martin-in-the-Fields Homelessness Charity ‘The Connection’.

On the eve of the longest day of the year, London chamber choir Vivamus present a special programme which celebrates light in all its forms, from pale morning rays to gleaming stars at night including Stephen Dodgson’s three-song cycle Canticle of the Sun.
Beginning with Macmillan’s O Radiant Dawn, they explore musical manifestations of sunlight with Ešenvalds Rivers of Light, Dodgson’s Canticle of the Sun, and organ solo Lumière by Demessieux. Via Saari’s Sunset they then journey through dusk to the lights of the night sky, including piano solos Moon over Westminster by Bingham and Clair de Lune by Debussy, alongside Time, an original composition by Vivamus musical director, Rufus Frowde.
As music mirrors nature, the concert will begin in daylight and proceed through twilight, ending as night falls.
