New Music Show at hcmf 2020 (1/3)

Kate Molleson presents live from Huddersfield Festival of Contemporary Music, with a concert by Explore Ensemble, performing works by Oliver Leith, Joanna Baillie and Lawrence Dunn.

Kate Molleson presents live from the Huddersfield Festival of Contemporary Music, with a concert by Explore Ensemble, performing three new & recent works:
Oliver Leith: new work for sextet (UKP)
Joanna Baillie: Dissolve (UKP)
Lawrence Dunn: Sentimental Drifting Music

Plus tonight, highlights from the music installations by Hayley Suviste and Georgia Rodgers which are featured in the festival.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, hcmf 2020 is taking place on Radio 3 and online for three days (Friday, November 20 – Sunday, November 22) over what would normally have been the festival’s first weekend.

The New Music Show across three consecutive nights presents exclusive live broadcasts showcasing the festival’s varied programme, including premieres, fixtures of the experimental scene, and music by the icons and rising stars of contemporary classical music.

The broadcasts will include a 70th birthday concert for James Dillon on Sunday – featuring the World Premiere of Pharmakeia from the London Sinfonietta and a specially recorded and previously unheard piano work written for Noriko Kawai – as well as a plethora of premieres from Explore Ensemble tonight, and on Saturday the innovative piano/percussion combo GBSR Duo and clarinettist Heather Roche.
