Birtwistle's early gems mesmerise at Cadogan Hall

Le Festival de Royaumont présente en deux concerts « Voix Nouvelles » les recrues de son Académie 2021 : un florilège passionnant où jeunes compositeurs et compositrices rivalisent d’imagination !

Only Bells and Horses: Garland transforms a Peckham car park into a dreamlike, chaotic spectacle of musicians, objects and voices – thrilling, poignant and unabashedly emotional.

A sonorous performance by Exaudi brings to life Eugene Birman's Requiem for Peace, Russia: Today.

The LCO and Actress present tantalizing textures, while new works of placid emotion envelop the senses.

Now they know how many cacti it takes to fill the Albert Hall. Last night’s marathon John Cage Prom finished up, over three hours after it had started, with a wonderfully cactus-heavy performance of Branches (1976).

Almost as remarkable as John Cage's actual music is how varied it is. Nothing obvious connects The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs, a beautifully simple four-note piece for soprano and piano lid, to Four Solos for voice, a late work in which four singers independently do a series of strange things at the same time.
