Always, Already There: Time Echoes

This concert invites us to listen and engage with works that exemplify Black radical tradition and ‘sounds (that) seek out a worlding between human and nonhuman entities through an endless capacity for reconfiguration, reorganization to materialize worlds outside the locked grooves of anti-Black violence and environmental destruction.’ (Henry Ivry)

Featuring leading clarinettist Heather Roche and cellist Elliott Bailey, flautist Lara Aisha Ali and Norwegian-based violist Laura M. B. Kumwenda performing five UK premieres of work by electronic music pioneers, from Moroccan composer Ahmed Essyad and Olly Wilson (US) alongside works by Ivan Liuzzo, Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman, Pamela Z, Allison Loggins-Hull and Marcos Balter.
