Chris Abrahams piano

Lloyd Swanton bass
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Ilan Volkov conductor
Players from the BBC SSO join with Yarn/Wire to perform Mâche’s award winning Kassandra from 1977, typical of the composer’s investigations with sounds in nature, zoomusicology and human speech patterns. Linda Catlin Smith’s Wilderness is an exploration of orchestral colour, with the possibilities of the orchestra itself a kind of Wilderness, and its followed by a new orchestral work by Lori Goldston. After the interval, legendary Australian trio The Necks improvise with Ilan Volkov and the BBC SSO, with a typical exploration into the zones between improvisation, post-rock, jazz, ambient, and orchestral music.
François-Bernard Mâche : Kassandra
Linda Catlin Smith : Wilderness

BBC Total Immersion Day: Edgard Varèse
Barbican Hall, London
Barbican, Silk Street, London EC2
United Kingdom

http://www.barbican.org.uk/eticketing
An introduction to the life and music of French-American composer Edgard Varese.
Edgard Varèse, even a half century after his death, remains a controversial yet cult figure. Born in France in 1883, he moved to Italy to study and knew all the major artistic figures of his day. He emigrated to the US in 1915 and, apart from a five-year stint in Paris, remained there until his death in 1965.
His unique voice and rigorous, though eclectic aesthetic, influenced countless younger composers even though his entire output can be performed in about three hours. So this Total Immersion is truly total - embracing every note he ever composed, including screenings of specially recorded BBC Symphony Orchestra films of Etude pour Espace and Ecuatorial.
Other events in the Total Immersion Day:
11am and 6.45pm Reconstruction of Varèse’s piece for tape Poéme électronique, Foyers
12pm Talk, Fountain Room
2pm Concert, Milton Court
4.30pm Film, Cinema 2

Tim Gill cello
Fali Pavri piano
Sound Intermedia sound projection
With its sonorous bass tones and piercing high register, the cello has fascinated composers for generations. As part of the Cello Unwrapped series at Kings Place, our Principal Cellist Tim Gill presents a survey of the styles and sounds of contemporary cello repertoire through the 20th and 21st centuries. From the mesmeric spiritualism of Messiaen and Pärt, through the concise pointillism of Webern, to the athletic virtuosity of Xenakis’ Kottos – “rough, harsh and full of noise” – this programme probes the cello’s many different characters, and the voices it has found in the contemporary music landscape.
Arvo Part : Fratres
Jonathan Harvey : Ricercare una melodia
Iannis Xenakis : Kottos
Thomas Ades : Les eaux (mvt 1 from Lieux retrouvés)
Anna Clyne : Paint Box
Harrison Birtwistle : Wie Eine Fuga
