About this event

Messiaen鈥檚 ecstatic, Eastern-influenced celebration of love is framed by a 大象传媒 commission from one of America鈥檚 rising talents and Anna Meredith鈥檚 acclaimed tour de force of clapping, stamping, singing and body percussion, first performed earlier this year by NYO members and commissioned for the PRS for Music Foundation's New Music 20x12 programme as part of the Cultural Olympiad.

痴补谤猫蝉别鈥檚 Tuning Up is a tongue-in-cheek parody based on the familiar orchestral strains usually heard on stage only before the conductor arrives.
