Tickets are now available for performances of the PRS Foundation’s New Music Biennial pieces in Hull.
The performances will take place across two festival weekends in July 2017 (one in Hull and another at London’s Southbank Centre), then be broadcast by BBC Radio 3.
Of the 20 works, some are a response to Hull’s title of City of Culture for 2017, such as Errollyn Wallen’s Mighty River orchestral work, that draws inspiration from the work of William Wilberforce in Hull and GoGo Penguin’s Abstractions of the Industrial North.
Other commissions includes composer Simon Holt’s new clarinet concerto for 2006’s BBC Young Musician of the Year Mark Simpson, commissioned by BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Emily Hall’s new Opera for children and Tom Jenkinson’s (Squarepusher) The Secret Life of Organs showcasing the potential for these incredible instruments beyond traditional organ music.
The works will be performed in Hull from 30 June to 1 July with each to be performed twice, then followed by a Q&A with the composers.
The New Music Biennial is free to attend, but if you book your tickets now you will guarantee entry.
Visit the Hull 2017 City of Culture website to get tickets.
