A Child of our Time could be anyone’s kid

A Child of our Time could be anyone’s kid

The Royal Northern Sinfonia has put on Michael Tippett’s oratorio in a performance involving amateur musicians and singers from across the North East of England. The idea is to underline the universality and topicality of the work. Some of the performers were unable to read music, which did not in any way diminish their participation.

Here’s the professional cast list:
Dinis Sousa conductor
Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha soprano
Sarah Connolly mezzo-soprano
Nicky Spence tenor
Willard White bass-baritone
Tim Burke chorus director
Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia
