Angus McPhee

Angus McPhee’s Panem Nostrum… Ave Maria was commissioned by the Genesis Foundation for a concert (on 27 February 2019) at the Royal Academy of Arts with Eamonn Dougan and The Sixteen inspired by Bill Viola/Michelangelo: Life, Death, Rebirth, which paired installations by pioneering video artist Bill Viola with rarely-seen drawings by Michelangelo.  The exhibition was sponsored by the Genesis Foundation.

The piece took its influence from a setting of the same text by composer Josquin des Prez and was programmed alongside music from the Sistine Chapel coupled with musical responses from contemporary composers
