Doors open at 7.30pm.
Two outstanding musicians, who are prominent figures on the new music scene, bring a programme of delicacy and intimacy to Kettle’s Yard, the perfect place to appreciate this intricate and hypnotic music. It was studying the fragility of spiders’ webs that informed Lisa Illean’s ever-weaver, and so the musicians are asked to weave and knit together threads of sound. Salvatore Sciarrino is the master of musical space, in which silence is almost as important as the notes, and who once said that he didn’t write music but instead created psychological experiences. In Cantica by the late Per Nørgård, Deni will dig into the cello’s ability to sing with a richness like no other instrument. And Joseph’s selected some of Bent Sørensen’s magical Nocturnes, piano miniatures that range from lullabies to moonlit waltzes.
