Sounds of Now: Bridge Ensemble

At the end of their first year working together with Music in the Round through the  Bridge scheme supporting promising young musicians, this formidable quintet presents a programme of new music for flute, clarinet, oboe, horn and bassoon.

Opening with Thea Musgrave’s intoxicating work for solo oboe and pre-recorded electronics, including a brand new Afrobeat-inspired work by the group’s clarinettist Ọlá Akindipe and concluding with US composer Valerie Coleman’s fusion of what she calls ‘blues dialect and charm of the south’, this is an accessible and eclectic tour through a world of music from composers too often unrepresented on the concert stage.
