Minimal is part of the Glasgow Music 2011/2012 Season
To mark world renowned experimental music collective Bang on a Can’s 25th Anniversary appearances at MINIMAL EXTREME, the Scottish Music Centre has awarded ten Scottish composers the chance to collaborate with five Scottish ensembles and première their work in front of a live MINIMAL EXTREME audience.
Inspired by Bang On A Can’s iconic performance festivals, the Scottish Music Centre launched a Composition Marathon whereby ten Scottish composers – Chris Hutchings, Claire McCue, Derek Ball, Eve Harrison, Graeme Ronald, Julien Lonchamp, Kevan O’Reilly, Peter MacCalman, Kim Moore and Matthew Whiteside – have been awarded the chance to collaborate with one of five of Scotland’s top chamber ensembles Daniel’s Beard, Ensemble Thing, Peter Gregson with Keith Beattie, Live Music Now’s Flercussion and Pure Brass – to create and perform new works to a live MINIMAL EXTREME audience at the Old Fruitmarket.
The instrumental groupings will only be revealed at the start of the Marathon at 9am on Saturday 24th March. Following an intense 24 hour creative and rehearsal period, the project will culminate at 3pm on Sunday 25th March in a final performance, featuring ten world premières.
