NEW SHOWS



Our first show for the new season has now been and gone, and featured various pieces of music we'd been enjoying over the past few months. Opening with our theme tune, the overture from Gerlad Barry's Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, we then played work by Gordon Mumma, Mendelssohn's Octet, Bryman, Cardew, Porter Wagoner, Lola Flores, Nono, Hindemith, Haass, Enescu, Mazulis (pictured), Arthur Lyman and Donnacha Dennehey. Many thanks to Lina, our Lithuanian engineer, for pronunciation assistance. Our second show, on film music, was last Friday - full playlist details will be posted wehn (if?) I can locate them. Do please get in touch if you'd like any additional information - contact details at the top of the page.

This Friday, October 12th, we'll be looking at microtonality. Expect to hear music by Alois Haba, among others.
