The first of three Sinfonietta Nova concerts will feature London Sinfonietta's Jonathan Morton. The concert will take you on a journey through the raw and palpable power of Krzysztof Penderecki, the eerie and unsettling undercurrent of the Oscar-winning soundtrack 'There Will Be Blood' to the unistic and deeply layered style of composer Zygmunt Krauze, who will sit at the piano.

Reich’s iconic Clapping Music, its instrument just human hands, starts this not-to-be-missed event. Runner formed a double premiere at Covent Garden in 2016, when the Royal Ballet danced Wayne McGregor’s Multiverse to the score which the New York Times described as ‘a calmly luminous orchestral piece.’ The Four Sections refers both to the four orchestral families and its four varied movements, Reich creating a contrapuntal web filled with melodic patterns. The recent Reich/Richter was conceived as a concert work, as well as music for the film Moving Picture (946-3) by visual artist, Gerhard Richter. Reich found his inspiration in the pulsating, color shifting, glowing stripes of the film’s opening sequence.

“A lot has been written about the biggest music scandal in history during the world premiere of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring 1913. He was 31 years old. One year before World War One Stravinsky blew up the music world. Away with traditions and lineage. Away with Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner and Mahler. A never heard primal force burst out of the massive orchestra in Paris’ Theatre des Champs-Elysees.
