Barrett, Richard (b. 1959)

[Richard Barrett]

I guess this might be the right place to say I'm pleased to announce that (not without various trials and tribulations) I've organised a short UK tour next March with Ensemble Studio6 of Belgrade, with a programme consisting of my six-part conglomerate piece close-up, for recorder(s), trumpet(s), cello, accordion, harp and electronics. Confirmed so far are concerts in London (6 March), Leeds (9 March) and Oxford (10 March) with maybe one or two more to add eventually, plus I hope a R3 recording of one of them. I hope to see some boarders at one or other of these evenings! - no doubt I'll flag this up again nearer the time, I'm posting this now mainly out of relief that we managed to pull together the cash to do it. Here's an advance sample of the music which I've just uploaded to Soundcloud, part 3 (pauk = "spider") for trumpet and accordion:

Just be sure to let us know details of times and places as soon as available, so that we might beat the inevitable rush.

Indeed - I have put the date in my diary. (Clothworkers' Centenary Concert Hall in Leeds, by any chance?)

Second this. Plus would be nice if you could come to Birmingham.

Sounds like a lot of hard work putting this together, so hope you are rewarded with good attendances and that R3 broadcast, RB.

Just my luck! - there's a chance that I'll be abroad during March and April but if not, I'll be up for the London and Oxford gigs.

Just dropping in to shovel the dust away from this old thread and to say:

the R3 recording of my concert in Oxford next month has been confirmed so people who can't get to any of the concerts will be able to hear it anyway

AND

most of the recent recordings of my stuff have been subject to embargoes on sharing owing to their being owned by broadcast companies and concert halls, but here is an exception, being (the stereo reduction of) a new electronic piece, premiered in New York last Saturday, entitled Vermilion Sands after the cycle of short stories by JG Ballard. Don't forget to turn up the volume!

Wonderful! Thanks for your generosity, Richard.

I booked my seat and train tickets a few hours ago for this gig.

Can't make Oxford but have booked for City University, Tuesday, March 6th, 7pm start.

Wonderful! Thanks for your generosity, Richard.

I'll be at the Leeds gig on 9th. (I see that there's a performance there the following night of The Mikado - hope nobody gets the dates muddled!)

[Beef Oven!]

I fear I'm not in the UK when these performances take place. Just my luck.

[Bryn]

Anyone else. besides Richard, planning to attend City University Performance Space tonight?

I'm flying to Italy this evening so I unfortunately I will miss this. I'm disappointed, especially since I enjoyed the last London concert so much.

I'm flying to Italy this evening...

Are you hoping to form a government?

Let us know how it goes!
