Thursday 6 December 2012Luke Bedford: By the screen in the sun at the hill on the gold for 18 players
Luke Bedford: Or voit tout en aventure for soprano & 16 players
Recital by an award-winner of the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund.
Luke Bedford awakes the imagination through a haunting sound world, faultless timing and precision. 'By the Screen in the Sun at the Hill on the Gold', composed after a longer stay in Johannesburg as part of a project about megacities, is an astonishing experimental work.
'Or Voit Tout En Aventure' is an evocative and sensuous setting of texts written in medieval French and Italian.
This is vivid and compelling music from a leading British composer.
