Calum Robertson’s clarinet, Anna Michels piano and Sally Carr’s soprano capture the charm of contemporary Scottish compositions, and introduce Lori Laitman’s soulful new work.
The first piece at this afternoon concert, in the beautifully restored Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall in the School of Music at Leeds University, dated from 2004: the song-cycle In Praise of Dreams, four poems by the Nobel prize-winning Wisława Szymborska translated from the Polish by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh, composed by Birmingham-based Joe Cutler.
