Don’t miss the UK premiere of Unsuk Chin’s Šu (2009), set in company with three other extraordinarily inventive explorations of musical timbre and texture. Shifting tone colours, bold percussion outbursts and exquisite flecks of sound shimmer on the constantly evolving surface of Rocaná (2008), a work simply described by the New York Times as ‘a knockout’. Critical and audience reactions to the composer’s Violin Concerto (2001) underline the Grawemeyer Award
