The second concert of Music in the Space Time Continuum explores works connected with the “music and acoustic space”.
Spur by Klangforum Wien founder and conductor Beat Furrer is considered by some as one of the most influential chamber music works of the last thirty years. Bernhardt Gardner is one of the new Austrian composers able to seduce us; his khul for string quartet; takes instrumental playing into unexpected fascinating and charming directions.
Robert David Rusconi is a North London composer, who has been referred to as the ‘William Blake of Contemporary Music’. His new piano quintet De materia nigra et obscura has been directly inspired and influenced by the dicovery of the Higgs boson.
This is an inspiring selection of music for a evening that, finally, brings back to London the flamboyant virtuosos of Klangforum Wien; an Ensemble that is legendary and still unsurpassed in its technical mastery and poetical drive.
