Pandemia written for a string quartet by Apollo Premadasa as tribute to health workers
A London hospital has celebrated the NHS’s 73rd birthday with a special performance of a new piece of classical music composed by a six-year-old boy in tribute to health workers and scientists.
Apollo Premadasa first emailed St Bart’s hospital in the City of London last year during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to tell them he had written the piece, Pandemia, for a string quartet in C minor, as a “thank you” to health workers everywhere.
