SOUNDS OF NOW: BRIDGE ENSEMBLE

A programme of new music for flute, clarinet, oboe, horn and bassoon from Music in the Round’s Bridge Ensemble.

Opening with Sigurd Berge’s haunting work for solo horn, including Èkó Scenes, a brand new Afrobeat-inspired work by the group’s clarinettist Olá Akindipe, and concluding with US composer Valerie Coleman’s fusion of what she calls ‘blues dialect and charm of the south’, this is an accessible and eclectic tour through a world of new classical music.
