Sacconi Quartet & James Gilchrist
The Sacconi Quartet and leading tenor James Gilchrist perform Jonathan Dove’s In Damascus which the quartet commissioned in 2016. Set to texts by Ali Safar which draw on his experiences in Syria, this beautiful piece pays homage to those affected by the tragic conflict there.
