OCLIPSE Concert Series: Oberlin Percussion Group

Oberlin College

On Sunday 11th June, our 22-23 NEXTies will be performing their last concert with us! Join in the celebration for only a fiver, and hear the works of composers Gérard Grisey and Aureliano Cattaneo, with a piece by one of our very own NEXTIES, Rob Hao. 

BCMG NEXT 22-23 Final Concert

Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

This concert focuses on our perceptions of time, through two very different yet complementary masterpieces. The London Sinfonietta and Daniel Pioro will perform Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum, a work that takes us through three time frames: ‘normal’, human time, the ‘expanded’ time of whales and the ‘compressed’ time of birds, via this pioneering spectralist composer’s virtuoso imagination. This late masterwork fulfilled Grisey’s vision of a music that transfigures our experience of time. On a symphonic scale, revealing dizzying dances and lavish harmonic language, the music carries us on a journey through boundary-breaking sound-worlds.
