Wednesday February 7th 2018
5:30pm in The Gallery, the Vijay Patel Building, De Montfort University.
Escape for an hour and enjoy a performance of fresh new music presented in The Gallery at DMU. Opening the programme, Salvatore Sciarrino’s Sei Capricci for solo violin is a modern counterpart to Paganini’s devilishly difficult études. This is followed by Susanne Grunewald’s Golden Turtle, a captivating piece for cello, electronics and visuals that tells the story of a magical sword after the Vietnamese King’s final battle against the Chinese Ming Dynasty in 1428. Closing the concert, Simon Emmerson’s Stringscape for violin and electronics; a mosaic of sounds reminiscent of Berg, Webern and Ligeti.

Irvine Arditti violin
Karen Stephenson cello
Sciarrino: Sei Capricci for solo violin
Grunewald: Golden Turtle
