Birmingham Contemporary Music Group at 30

Tom Service presents the 30th anniversary concert of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, including works composed by Ondrej Adamek, Rebecca Saunders and Helmut Lachenmann.

Tom Service presents a special concert given by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group recorded earlier this month to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The BCMG has grown into one of the foremost contemporary music ensembles today and their anniversary concert features three ground-breaking works that have been written since their founding in 1987 - Ond艡ej Ad谩mek's Sinuous Voices, Rebecca Saunders' Into the Blue, and Helmut Lachenmann's Zwei Gef眉hle.

Plus the third part of Hear and Now's archive feature on the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival at 40, in which Andrew Kurowski talks to Robert Worby about the Festival's changing perspectives, including recordings of Claudia Molitor's Paper Cut by Apartment House from the 2008 Festival and Rebecca Saunders' String Quartet by the Arditti Quartet at the 2012 Festival.

The Sound of the Week comes from electronic composer/DJ Lee Gamble, who has been inspired by aural hallucinations..
