A Plastic Theatre takes its name from a commission for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Youth Company in 2023 – a 20-minute work for orchestra, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston and the RLPO Youth Choir and Children’s Choir. The centrepiece of this album is a recording of the world premiere performance.
Joanna Marsh is a renowned British composer of choral and orchestral music. Marsh’s music has long been celebrated and she was recently nominated for an Ivors Academy Award.
