In this next episode of our The Composer's Mind series, we speak to Georg Friedrich Haas. Having performed his works in vain (2000), Open Space II (2007), ATTHIS (2010), „Ich suchte, aber ich fand ihn nicht.“ (2012) and The last minutes of inhumanity (2018) in recent years, Haas has just completed a new commission for the London Sinfonietta, Hommage à Bridget Riley (2019). Hear Haas discuss this new work, his reaction to Bridget Riley's work and the formations of his interest in microtonality.

It might be the price of a coffee, or the cost of a ticket to one of our live events. Any money you can give will also support the Players who perform for the group, by giving them more opportunities to do what they do best – make extraordinary new music that brings the wonderful ideas of living composers to life – as well as support composers to write new music.
