Le science de monsieur Berlioz
New works by Eleanor Jarman-Pinto, Ben Graves and Joshua Kaye.
Three Guildhall School composers take the ‘harmony’ of Hector Berlioz as a starting point for a series of new works, commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society as part of its Bicentenary celebrations. Scored for voice and small ensemble including guitar – Berlioz’s own instrument – the concert offers a thoroughly contemporary twist on this unique composer’s music.
Part of RPS200, a year-long celebration of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Bicentenary in 2013.
