“Seventy degrees below zero is a three-movement work for chamber orchestra and tenor soloist. [Inspired by work carried out by the Scott Polar Research Institute], the phrase for the title was taken from Scott’s letter to his wife: ‘Dear, it is not easy to write because of the cold - 70 degrees below zero.’ The scientific exploration and data collected by Captain Scott’s team at the beginning of the 20th century still powerfully underlies the research which continues to this day. It was with a desire to join the past with the present that I asked the poet, Seán Street, to write two poems to accompany Scott’s words: words from ‘then’ and words from ‘now’.”
Wimbledon Choral has been described by many as “one of the most substantial and formidable choirs in London... a vigorous and sophisticated choral ensemble.” The choir is over 100 years old, re-founded in the early stages of the First World War, but its earliest recorded roots go back to 1870. Today they are a modern, dynamic group of singers, always ready to stretch themselves and try new things, making sure they keep up the reputation of one of the finest amateur symphonic choirs in South East England.
