Tom Ainge: New work for two pianos
Christopher Mortlock: New work for piano

A showcase of world premieres by current Cambridge students: Henry Tozer's new work for voice and large ensemble ushers the listener into an extraordinary soundworld of microtonal tunings and extended vocal techniques, while Chris Norman's epic Fantasy unleashes a torrent of pianistic dynamism. Chris Mortlock and Tom Ainge present works for solo piano and for two pianos and the programme is completed with a new work by Gregor Forbes, now in his final undergraduate year: Orlando, or, The Multiplicity of Being presents us with a meditation on themes from Virginia Woolf's novel.
