Composer: Crawford Seeger, Ruth (1901-1953)

With Satu Vänskä at the helm, the ACO delivers a thrilling series of performances in an ecclectic program at the City Recital Hall, Sydney

A concert of five composers, and three of them women – bravo to the JACK Quartet not just for inimitable execution, but for programming as well.

A clever programme of mid-20th century American music by Carter, Copland and contemporaries, watered down with a light sprinkling of Arlen and Gershwin.

A new commision for the woodwind soloists of the Britten Sinfonia was the inspiration behind this beguiling lunchtime affair, consisting entirely of music for woodwind quintet spanning nearly 100 years.

The extraordinary JACK Quartet showcase music by Ruth Crawford Seeger, Christopher Trapani, Brian Ferneyhough, Julian Anderson and Horaţiu Rădulescu at Wigmore Hall.
