About this event

Linked Ophelia pieces by Oliver Knussen, 60 this year, follow Alexander Goehr鈥檚 reflection on Bach鈥檚 compositional procedures, which Knussen himself premiered, wearing his conductor鈥檚 hat.

Also born in 1952, Simon Bainbridge has developed a darker, less mercurial kind of idiom. Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch鈥檚 extraordinary triptych, his eagerly awaited new work is a labyrinthine journey featuring mezzo-soprano and counter-tenor.
