Christopher Tin. Llangollen. 2017
Quite randomly I've just seen an amateur choir at my local pub sing a version of Baba Yetu, which has quite vividly taken me back to this shoot with composer Christopher Tin before he conducted the first ever live performance of the piece at the International Eisteddfod.
Christopher was a lovely chap and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him for these pictures and he was a very game collaborator for a couple of my more unorthodox ideas.
I ended up in the crowd for the final performance some weeks later and it was an absolutely spellbinding evening. Such powerful music and masterfully staged.
Thank you Vocalize Community Choir for this trip down memory lane.
