Gabriella Teychenné’s music-making has been described as ‘radically passionate’ and the programme she presents for her debut will show that to the full. The string pieces by Russian émigrée Victoria Borisova-Ollas and Ukrainian Valentin Silvestrov are emotionally charged, whilst Nicholas Maw conjures up vivid pictures inspired by illustrations of the famous 11th century Persian epic story, Shahnama. Finally, we hear a world premiere from the 2022 Rushworth Composition prize-winner, Christopher Cook.

The wind rises, and waves smash against the North Sea coast of England. The earth shakes, as the very ground beneath our feet threatens to give way. And, in 19th-century Russia, a chemist with a gift for music, dreams of ancient times and exotic tribes, and creates sheer sonic alchemy.
