Pulse And Presence

In a portrait of modern creativity by the London Sinfonietta, three voices of contemporary music converge in striking contrast and resonance. Opening the concert, Alex Paxton’s sound world is frenetic and multilayered – a high-bandwidth flood of sound that dazzles the ear. By contrast, Tansy Davies writes with ritualistic poise, her meditative sonorities unfolding in slow arcs, always with a sense of direction and flow.
