Feldman Piano and String Quartet

Composed two years before his death, this hypnotic one‑movement work of sustained and arpeggiated chords sets the piano and string quartet apart as two distinct voices.

FINNISSY & FELDMAN: Two great recent composers share both musical characteristics and, this year, important anniversaries: the 80th birthday of British composer and RCM alumnus Michael Finnissy, and the centenary of American composer Morton Feldman’s birth.

In celebration of these avant garde, radical musicians – whose work focuses on sound, texture, innovative notation and performance techniques – the RCM presents three concerts showcasing their remarkable chamber repertoire.
