Why Composer John Tavener Is Getting A Premiere Eight Years After He Died

Oboist Nicholas Daniel: “This week, singer Andrew Watts and I will make our fourth attempt to give the world premiere of Sir John Tavener’s La Noche Oscura. The most surprising part of this is not that three scheduled performances have been cancelled over the last 12 difficult months, but that the work is getting its first performance [only now].” – The Guardian
