Gabriella Smith Carrot Revolution
Edmund Finnis String Quartet No. 2
Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) DREAM CULTURE - Worlds Premier
Franz Schubert String Quartet No.14 in D minor, D810 ‘Death and Maiden’, II
George Crumb Black Angels
George Crumb’s ‘Black Angels’, subtitled ‘Thirteen Images from the Dark Land’, is a cult work for a reason – once you hear it, you’ll never forget it.
The notoriously difficult piece makes extraordinary demands of any string quartet who dare to attempt it. Musicians are instructed to chant in foreign languages, play their instruments upside down, incessantly tap the strings with thimbles and glass rods, scream, shout, beat, count and pray.
Themes of destiny and obsessive spirituality prevail in Crumb’s avant-garde masterpiece – performed here alongside ‘Death and the Maiden’ by Schubert. In this concert, the Collective also present a new commission by New York hip-hop artist, activist, poet and composer Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother).
The set is completed by Edmund Finnis’ transcendent 2nd string quartet and Gabriella Smith’s fast and furious Carrot Revolution.
This event has been produced in partnership with Orchestras Live
