Sara Mohr-Pietsch talks to the Jazz saxophonist Trish Clowes about her Emulsion V project at the Midland Arts Centre in Birmingham. The latest event in her Emulsion series, combining musicians she admires in contemporary Jazz and contemporary Classical music into one project, Emulsion V drew a large and diverse crowd to the MAC, Birmingham. As Trish Clowes explains: "Everyone has their own take on where the improvised music scene is going, Emulsion offers up a few ideas, things to think about... as well as bringing together different audiences and reminding people of how important it is to challenge one's expectations, and how exploring and listening to new music is exciting not daunting." Also tonight, American saxophonist Colin Stetson's re-imagining of Gorecki's classic Symphony No 3.
