In October 2015 Pictures of Life’s official public launch took place at the renowned Kings Place concert hall, London.
The event was a choral and orchestral performance of the work featuring the Ascolta Choir, the Finchley Children’s Music Group (age 9-15) and the 15-piece Pictures of Life Orchestra conducted by Peter Broadbent, together with four outstanding soloists: baritone Rodney Earl Clarke, bass Richard Wiegold, soprano Eloise Iriving and mezzo-soprano Hannah Poulsom, plus the barbershop quartet ‘A Cut Above’.
The Artistic Director for the concert was award winning Martin Constantine, founder and director of ENO Opera Works.
