The world premiere of ‘Ada in Ealing’, a new composition by Laura Rossi, will take place at The Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday 24th June. The work was commissioned by ESO to mark the orchestra’s centenary, and has a libretto by renowned children’s author, Michael Rosen who is performing in the piece.
“It’s a fun piece — very melodic and colourful — with different styles incorporated within the composition, as in Michael Rosen’s text, Ada Lovelace, (who lived in Ealing) comes back and is taken on a journey across Ealing to see what’s been going on since she’s been away. The piece celebrates the rich musical and cultural history of Ealing as well as more poignant moments as Rosen delves into the history of the people of Ealing over the last 150 years”. – Laura Rossi
