For our closing gala concert,
Kelly-Marie Murphy returns with a
newly commissioned work,
Murmuration, written specially
for NMF’s 20th anniversary
celebration. Kati Agócs then takes
us on a magical journey with her
piece …like treasure hidden in a
field. For the last work of our
Festival, we bring you another epic
event: Krzysztof Penderecki’s
Symphony No. 7: Seven Gates of
Jerusalem, scored for four
soloists, narrator, choir and
orchestra. This monumental work,
commissioned to honour the third
millennium of Jerusalem, has been
hailed as one of Penderecki’s
greatest musical achievements. It
all happens here as we celebrate
NMF’s first 20 years!
