Concert Information

This evening, the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic is joined by students of the RNCM for a special side-by-side performance at MediaCityUK, with a programme focussing on composer Helen Grime鈥檚 work. The concert, which forms part of the RNCM鈥檚 In Focus series, features three pieces by Grime, interspersed with the work of talented RNCM composition students.

In the first half of the concert, you鈥檒l hear the RNCM鈥檚 Brand New Orchestra performing three works alongside the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic and, after the interval, the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic complete the concert with a further three pieces.

The RNCM鈥檚 In Focus series celebrates and foregrounds exciting, trailblazing artists such as Grime.

Taking inspiration from paintings and literature alike, Grime is renowned for her masterful compositional style and musical story telling. Notions of nature and art link Helen鈥檚 pieces; this evening we hear her nocturnal miniatures, Night Songs, the virtuosic Limina, a musical depiction of Norwegian author Tarjei Vesaas鈥檚 1963 novel The Ice Palace, and Woven Space, an epic symphonic interplay of weaving lines and musical shapes, inspired by Laura Ellen Bacon鈥檚 basket-like art structure of the same name.

鈥淗er palette is all her own...She writes as though her music needs to be told." (Kate Molleson, The Guardian, on Helen Grime).
