This concert features two of the most important works in the modern percussion repertoire. Iannis Xenakis's Persephassa for 6 percussionists places the musicians around the audience, making the spatial movement of sound an integral part of the composition. Brian Ferneyhough's Bone Alphabet was written at the request of Steven Schick who will perform it on this concert. It is an extremely demanding work only for virtuosos. Additionally, the concert will premiere Irama Mabuk by YST Head of Composition Assoc Prof Peter Edwards.
Pianist Eri Nakagawa explores the art of theme & variations, retelling the artistic legacy of Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, and Clara Wieck (Schumann).
