New Perspectives

Maderna Serenata per un satellite
Jacques Allen Elegy for the Feminine Man (world premiere)
Hannah Kendall Verdala
Thomas Adès Living Toys
Simon Holt Lilith

The ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s new music ensemble brings together a range of defining events, personal reflections and portrayals, beginning with the launch of the satellite Boreas as told by Maderna in his improvisatory work.

Also featured are ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ composers past and present. Hannah Kendall’s Verdala is inspired by the SS Verdala, a ship that brought West Indian soldiers to the trenches during the First World War, whilst ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ competition winner Jacques Allen reflects on aspects of sexuality and gender in Elegy for the Feminine Man.

The ensemble concludes with Thomas Adès’ virtuosic early work and ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ composition professor Simon Holt’s menacing depiction of the serpent Lilith.
