Saturday 19 November 10.00pm-1.00am - yes, 3 hours of contemporary music

Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces a live show from Huddersfield Town Hall as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2011.

The programme features the world premiere of a major new work by Richard Barrett - Construction - a two-hour piece which explores ideas about urban living, both through promised utopias and harsh realities.

The performers are ELISION with vocalists Deborah Kayser, Ute Wassermann and Carl Rosman, conducted by Eugene Ughetti.
