Lisa Streich's Ofelia
Kate Molleson explores some of the latest sounds, including Lisa Streich's hauntingly beautiful Ofelia and a first orchestral piece from cult improvisor Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh.
Kate Molleson explores some of the latest sounds in new music from around the UK and beyond.
Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh and the 蜜芽传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra explore the spatial potential of Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket in New Mountain, Reaching Plane. And, in her Ofelia, the Swedish composer Lisa Streich finds romance by artificially placing the listener inside a closed piano. As she says: "This forced entrance into the body of the instrument makes it fragile... I often thought of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet when composing this piece." There'll also be a taster, fresh from Bergen's 2023 Borealis experimental music festival as Swedish-Ethiopian vocalist Sofia Jernberg performs 釈愥嫮釆�-釆メ埈釋嶀墺 - Amharic for Veil. .
