Concert information

Edinburgh-based composer Shiori Usui鈥檚 from scratch is a revised version of her 2007 work, based on her experience of eczema and is scored for orchestra, improvised voice/percussion and live-electronics. Following this Tim Hodgkinson, Shelley Hirsch and Paul May perform as a trio. After the move to the Grand Hall, Lawrence Dunn鈥檚 Ambling, waking is about the everyday struggle to emerge from sleep, but also about 鈥榳aking鈥, as in mourning. Linda Catlin Smith鈥檚 Adagietto pays homage to the slow movements of classical and Baroque orchestral music, their pace 鈥渁llowing for more complex harmony to be heard鈥. James Saunders鈥 World Premiere is typical of his open-form compositions that explore group behaviours and decision making, in this case using memory and mental effort to determine the resulting orchestral sound. Finally, Roscoe Mitchell鈥檚 Conversations for soloists and orchestra are based upon transcriptions of works from both of his CDs of the same name.
