Musicians from Hammer & Bronze (contemporary gamelan ensemble) will workshop seven new pieces for Javanese gamelan instruments written by Master's composition students from the Faculty of Music. Professor Martyn Harry will convene the workshops, examining the process behind writing for instruments from another tradition with a different tuning system, and in some cases combining them with European instruments or electronics.
With Rob Campion (bonang, gendèrs), Zack Di Lello (bonang, slenthem, saron, gongs), Isabelle Carré (bonangs, peking, flute, contrabass flute), Tom Bruges (guitar). In collaboration with the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments.
Rémy Ballot and OUO Solo Players - Bruckner: String Quintet, Mathilde Kralik: Nonet
Following their successful chamber ensemble programme of Mozart and Strauss last January, violinist and conductor Rémy Ballot is joined by a chamber ensemble drawn from members of OUO to give a concert that presents Bruckner’s resplendent String Quintet alongside the work of his student, Mathilde Kralik. Kralik’s Nonet is scored for the rare combination of clarinet, bassoon, two horns, string quartet and piano.
