About
Southland Ensemble presents a concert highlighting three generations of living British composers - Howard Skempton (1947), Laurence Crane (1961) and Sarah Hughes (1983).
All three composers have had a considerable impact on experimental music both nationally and globally. Skempton was a founding member of the infamous Scratch Orchestra. Crane, whose compositions have been gaining recent notoriety, is closely associated with the experimental ensemble Apartment House, now celebrating their 20th year as an experimental ensemble. Hughes, both an artist and composer, is the co-creator of the experimental collective Compost and Height.
This concert will feature an arrangement of Hughes' A Reward is given for the Best Inframammary Fold composed for the ensemble.
While all three composers maintain their own unique voices, there is a sparse beauty found in their music that unites them. We invite you to share to hear similarities and differences, and share this special listening experience with us.
Admission: $18 | $15 students
