Richard Causton and European Union Youth Orchestra

'Twenty-Seven Heavens' is a work by Richard Causton that has been commissioned by the European Union Youth Orchestra, which will explore Blake's Jerusalem where the poet parallels aspects of his mythological world with various districts of London, including areas such as Hackney, Bow and Stratford. The twenty-seven heavens are layers of obscurity that the individual must penetrate to see the vision of Eternity - an idea which has resonance for both the artist and the athlete.
