Bringing an alternative slant to American minimalism, London's Explore Ensemble and the EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble present a major new work by Catherine Lamb, alongside music by James Tenney & Steve Reich.
James Weeks conductor
*Commissioned by Explore Ensemble with support from the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung, The Radcliffe Trust, and Arts Council England's National Lottery Project Grants. Co-commissioned by The Barbican and Rainy Days.
Berlin-based composer Catherine Lamb weaves together six voices with an ensemble that includes a just intonation electric guitar and retuned celtic harp. Together, they explore forms drawn from harmony and timbre, and based on the natural tunings of just intonation. Music by Lamb's teacher, James Tenney, opens the night, juxtaposed with Reich's electrifying Eight Lines providing a more propulsive energy.
Trailblazing vocal ensemble EXAUDI was formed in 2002. Comprising some of the UK’s top ensemble singers and new music soloists, its focus is on contemporary vocal composition.
Explore Ensemble is a new music group in London. Based around a core sextet, it performs, commissions, and promotes new music by composers of today, and revives landmark works from the recent past for audiences throughout the UK and beyond.
