Benjamin Graves The Visions of Elizabeth Barton (CUMS Composer in Residence 2019/20)
Kaija Saariaho Terrestre
Grisey Périodes
In one way or another all of the composers featured here are concerned with the world and their place in it. Therefore, a concert in the museum of Zoology – which starkly reminds us what tiny a percentage of Natural History Humans inhabit – is apt. John Luther Adams’ preoccupation with the wide-open vistas of his homeland of Alaska, Benjamin Graves’ interest in societal issues, and Kaija Saariaho and Grisey’s focus on the building blocks of sound itself come together to create a concert that scrutinises what it means to be a very small member of a very large world.
