Performing as part of their 'On and Off Tour 2015'
The Workers Union Ensemble present the Southampton gig of their Sound and Music supported 'On and Off Tour 2015'. This gig will feature five newly commissioned works alongside the London premiere of Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen's On and Off And To And Fro (2008) for soprano saxophone, double bass, vibraphone and three players with megaphones.
The other composers featured are three twentysomething emerging stars Ryan Latimer (WUE Composer-In-Association), Kate Whitley and Jay Capperauld (winner of the WUE Heidi Cupp Award 2013) as well as two slightly older heads Benjamin Oliver (conductor of the WUE and Southampton Lecturer in Composition) and Scottish composer, Mic Spencer.
Free admission.
Today's concert will be followed by a workshop with student composers, run by the Workers Union Ensemble - full details are available here.
