BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Hear and Now 3 - Composer Focus: Richard Ayres
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
Welcome to the world of Richard Ayres. Described as “zany and anarchic”, his is an energetic, layered, and often wildly humorous musical universe. This concert features one of his infamous NONcertos where the soloist is an “outcast” often called upon to perform impossible musical feats. Saar Berger, horn player with the Ensemble Modern, should rise (or fall) to the challenge beautifully.
The other composers in the concerts are no less interesting. Serbian German composer Marko Nikodijevic draws upon on the diverse worlds of the drug-fuelled techno music scene and Serbian folk songs for GHB /tanzaggregat while English minimalist Laurence Crane has been dubbed “irresistibly droll” by Gramophone magazine.
