Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's music is known for his idiosyncratic instrumental combinations and the combined influences of jazz and minimalism with dissonance, amplification and energetic rhythms. The UK premiere of Anaïs Nin, his new work for singer, ensemble and film, is paired with De Staat, a large-scale musical tour de force influenced by the energy of big band music and minimalistic rhythms.
The Front Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6:15pm - Pre-concert talk.
