Latvian Radio Choir • Genevieve Lacey

##### The Latvian Radio Choir spreads its wings and flies with Australia's own recorder queen, Genevieve Lacey. Look to the skies for dancing planets and soaring birds in the music of Pēteris Vasks, get lost in the sheer beauty of Arvo Pärt's Magnificat and listen to the world's first singers in Hollis Taylor's _Bird on Byrd_. Then experience an uplifting new commission from iconic Latvian composer, Ēriks Ešenvalds, setting the words of multi-award-winning Australian author and poet, Alexis Wright. '\[Lacey plays with\] wit, sensuality, and mind-boggling flamboyance.' - Guardian 'This chorus's expertise in music pushes voices to extremes, from ethereal high tones to uncannily sustained bass drones.' - _New York Times_ The girl thought that she could hear ghost music, black swans whispering, descending in never-ending ribbons, gathering into flocks of thousands. — Alexis Wright, _The Swan Book_
