This grant supported phase 2 of the programme, extending the work in Bealings School to collaborate with Rhodes Avenue Primary School, Haringay. The schools worked with librettist Alasdair Middleton and composer Matthew King to create a 21st century oratorio inspired by Handel’s L’Allegro, Il Ponseroso ed Il Moderato.
The resulting oratorio Il Pastorle, L’Urbana e il Suburbano was first performed at the Britten Studio, Snape on 10 July 2015.
