Unsuk Chin and Christian Kobi

The latest in new music with Tom Service. Includes Jacob ter Veldhuis's The Garden of Love and Orjan Matre's ...since I say it now in home sessions and a new track from John Zorn.

New Music Show: Tom Service introduces the latest sounds in new music. The show tonight includes Unsuk Chin's Le Silence des Sir猫nes, a scene for soprano and orchestra based on the Greek myth of the sirens who lured sailors to their destruction in the depths of the sea with their singing - with texts from Homer鈥檚 Odyssey, James Joyce鈥檚 Ulysses and Franz Kafka. There's also a track from John Zorn's latest album 'Calculus,' and Christian Kobi's 'Cathedral, "a pure, dramatic, and vague exhalation in an empty space," that space being a vast underground former warehouse in Switzerland. Plus a reflection from Jacob ter Veldhuis on William Blake's poem, 'The Garden Of Love.'
