Riot Ensemble feat. Gośka Isphording

Barber Evening Concert

Leading contemporary music group, Riot Ensemble, give their Barber Concerts debut. As a collective, Riot Ensemble connects people to fantastic contemporary music and celebrates the work of a huge range of composers. Their work focuses on commissioning new works, and the members of Riot are some of the top European soloists in the field of New Music.

The works in this enticing concert are tied to the voice in intimate ways: a meditation on a Bach Chorale by Sofia Gubaidulina, Anna Clyne’s melodic ‘creation upon a sound space’ which weaves in, out, and around the audience, and a secret text sung to themselves by a violinist.

Anchoring the concert – in his centenary year – is one of Xenakis’ masterworks: A l’ile de Goree for harpsichord and ensemble featuring soloist Gośka Isphording.
