´óÏó´«Ã½

Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given in the Queen Elizabeth hall in which ´óÏó´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and Charles Hazlewood explore issues of chance in music. The programme includes a new piece by 12 composers who have had an association with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra, where each composer writes one minute of music. The order of composers is determined by the roll of a die and each composer sees the last 12 bars of the previous composer's section and then continues the piece at their will.

Also featuring:

Mozart: A Musical Dice Game
Schnittke: Moz-Art a la Haydn
Matthews: To Compose Without the Least Knowledge of Music
Ives: The Unanswered Question
Stravinsky: Jeu de cartes

Followed by music by past winners of the RPS awards, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2009.
