Wadada Leo Smith's String Quartet No 17
Tom Service with music by Wadada Leo Smith and Franesca Verunelli in performances by Ligeti Quartet and 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra.
Tom Service presents the UK premiere of Wadada Leo Smith's String Quartet No 17, a response to the events of 6 January 2021 and the attack on the Capitol building in Washington DC. We hear from Smith about the ideas behind this work and about his Ankhrasmation system of graphic musical notation. The hour-long piece was given its UK premiere at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in November. Also tonight Jack Sheen conducts the 麻豆官网首页入口 symphony Orchestra in a performance of Francesca Verunelli's Tune and Re-Tune from a recent concert at the 麻豆官网首页入口 studios in Maida Vale.
