Distant Plains with Hard Rain Ensemble

  • Harty Room Queen's University Belfast Belfast (map)

Connecting the Celtic nations to Asia Pacific, this programme brings together some of the most exciting voices in contemporary music. Virtuosity bounds forward in Sam Chambers award-winning piece and we showcase solo works by Sean Doherty and Liza Lim which requires wielding not one, but two bows. Celebrating new connections with Wang Lu (China/USA), Luka Venter (Aotearoa), Lisa Robertson (Scotland) and Geoff Hannan (England/Ireland) and with inspiration drawn widely from sources such as Greek mythology, Mongolian Folk Music, Orkney and St Magnus, modern Satirical TV and Italian Baroque music, this is a unique exploration of local and international composition.
