music we'd like to hear
Music We'd Like to Hear in partnership with Another Timbre presents the London premiere of 'Violin and String Quartet' (1985) by Morton Feldman.
Dating from two years before the composer's death in 1987, 'Violin and String Quartet' lasts two and a quarter hours, throughout which the strings weave gently shifting patterns of sound. It is one of Feldman's most beautiful pieces.
Recently recorded for the first time by Apartment House, it will be performed by the same musicians: Mira Benjamin, Chihiro Ono, Amalia Young (violins), Bridget Carey (viola), Anton Lukoszevieze (cello).
This work will be performed in its entirety without a break.
Music We'd Like to Hear in partnership with Another Timbre presents the London premiere of String Trio (2017/23) by Swiss composer Jürg Frey.
Recently recorded for Another Timbre by Apartment House, this expansive work will be performed by the same musicians: Mira Benjamin (violin), Bridget Carey (viola), Anton Lukoszevieze (cello).
Also in the programme, a solo clarinet piece by Jürg Frey, 'toucher l'air' (2019/23), performed by Heather Roche, and a work by Carolyn Chen, 'In 1839 it was considered elegant to take a tortoise out walking' (2017).
We are a collective of musicians and composers who, since 2005, have been creating a one-of-a-kind space where we welcome listeners to come together to share and celebrate new and neglected contemporary music. We hand-pick the programmes with the aim of sharing our fascination and enthusiasm with everyone. We provide a platform for creative & experimental work, for showcasing emerging talent, and for promoting learning and collaboration.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to sustain this series depends solely on ticket sales, funding awards, and donations, with all of the proceeds going towards the musicians and composers. We strive to keep ticket prices affordable so that as many as possible can experience these exceptional events.
Please consider supporting Music We'd Like to Hear with a one-off or regular donation. Every contribution helps us to continue providing this space for inspiring music from our world-wide community.
