Luciano Berio Chamber Music
Traditional kora music will be performed between items in the programme
The world premiere of Feldman's Sixpenny Editions, Gerald Barry's new work based on the 19th/early 20th century popular music published in London’s The Strand forms the centre piece of Thomas Adès's March concert. Barry's own brand of witty contemporary music sits alongside Thomas Adès’s The Origin of the Harp, works by Berio, Nørgård and traditional music for the kora, the traditional African harp-lute.
Feldman’s Sixpenny Editions is a London Sinfonietta co-commission with the St Paul Chamber Orchestra. Supported by the London Sinfonietta Commissioning Circle.
