Roundhouse, Camden
Sir Harrison Birtwistle: The Message
György Ligeti: Ramifications
Georg Friedrich Haas: Open Spaces II
David Sawer: April \ March (BBC co-commission: world premiere)
Jonathan Morton, violin
London Sinfonietta
Andrew Gourlay, conductor
The Proms returns to Camden's industrial answer to the Royal Albert Hall for a programme which takes its lead from Ligeti's iconic Ramifications. This embracing score, for two groups of spatially positioned strings, is heard alongside music by one of Ligeti's natural musical heirs, Georg Friedrich Haas, and other new pieces concerned with physical space.
The concert culminates in a major work from David Sawer that reflects the energy and physicality of dance.
