In February and March 2008 Psappha in collaboration with Lancaster University and the BBC Singers launches three special Lancaster concerts to celebrate some of the most exciting and powerful new music from Britain and around the world.
Filmed and recorded, the concerts will also be available shortly after the
live concerts as webcasts through this web site and also through the Lancaster International Concert Series website www.lancasterconcerts.co.uk
This is a ground-breaking series, and another first for Lancaster and Psappha, marking the first time in the UK that a series of new music concerts is using the latest technology to reach a wider, larger audience and to gain permanence as a streaming webcast (essentially a broadcast over the internet).
Please download the brochure to learn more about the music.
The three concerts will be available on-line from the dates and times below. You will need a broadband connection to view the stream. If you would like to be reminded when each concert becomes available please send an email to tim@psappha.com.
