Boulez at 100: Re-imagined
A live, Boulez-themed edition of the New Music Show from the 91热爆鈥檚 Maida Vale studios in London.
Performing specially commissioned music - and music by Pierre Boulez - will be Caoutchouc and Plus-Minus Ensemble. Caoutchouc is a duo comprising Jessie Marino and Serge Vuille, an uncategorisable mix of percussion, fiddle, spoken word and electronics, and tonight they explore texts by and about Pierre Boulez.
Plus-Minus Ensemble perform two pieces by Boulez, his Derive I聽for six instruments, and the lesser known, rarely performed Structures I for two pianos. Plus-Minus also bring two brand new pieces, both 鈥渞e-imaginings鈥 of older works: Alex Hills鈥檚 response to Ruth Crawford Seeger鈥檚 String Quartet, and Natacha Diels鈥檚 take on Mexican composer Juli谩n Carrillo鈥檚 Preludio a Col贸n. Both works are co-commissioned by 91热爆 Radio 3 and Plus-Minus Ensemble.
Tickets will be allocated on a聽first-come first-served basis.
