Whorl Whirling Wings

The latest in new music performance including works by Chiyoko Szlavnics, Leo Chadburn and Tansy Davies.

Kate Molleson introduces the premiere of Canadian composer Chiyoko Szlavnics's Whorl Whirling Wings for 6 voices and electronics, inspired by the writings of classics scholar Anne Carlson and performed by EXAUDI at this year's Witten Festival. With the Ivors Composer Awards celebrating its 20th anniversary there's a chance to hear a winning work from 2016, Leo Chadburn's Freezywater, based on 49 topographical features and places adjacent to the M25 motorway. New releases come from producers Klein and Kode9, and we hear Tansy Davies in conversation with Robert Worby as part of his ongoing series of composer interviews, including a complete broadcast of Davies's work Falling Angel, which takes its name from a painting by the German artist Anselm Kiefer.
