London Sinfonietta

The London Sinfonietta celebrates the works of 20th-century musical maverick Conlon Nancarrow. A former soldier in the Spanish Civil War, Nancarrow spent most of his life in Mexico exploring intricate rhythmic designs only playable by mechanical instruments. This event highlights existing and new arrangements of his jazzy and hyperkinetically energetic music, plus György Ligeti's Pieces for Wind Quintet.

London Sinfonietta Perform Conlon Nancarrow

Arthur Keegan-Bole, 24th April

Having missed a chance to hear Conlon Nancarrow’s Player Piano Study no. 21 (Canon X) due to a spontaneous programme switch earlier in the day, I was delighted that Dominic Murcott’s arrangement of the piece for London Sinfonietta and player piano opened this concert.
