Event details

The University of Southampton's Contemporary Music Group return for their semester two concert.

Mahlerstücke, a new work by postgraduate composer Alexander Glyde-Bates, explores orchestral music and orchestral performance practice through a series of musical and theatrical transformations that highlight the many elements of orchestral performance that often go unnoticed. American composer Frederic Rzewski's Attica is the poignant final movement of his open score piece Coming Together. A piece that sets the letters of Sam Melville, a key figure in the 1971 riots at Attica State Prison, who was short and killed when the riots were put down by force.
