Frontiers Festival is a two-week celebration of bold, new music and is now recognised as one of the UK’s most ambitious festivals of contemporary music and interdisciplinary practice.

This year we take a close look at technology in contemporary music, and in particular at the intersection between electronic and acoustic music.

The Festival explores existing live electronics repertoire and showcases music created using the Integra Live software and the resources of Birmingham Conservatoire’s ground-breaking Integra Lab.

Among the highlights, a rare performance of Jonathan Harvey’s seminal From Silence side by side with Gérard Grisey’s Le temps et l’écume, the world première of Ed Bennett’s new PRS commission for piano and live electronics, and a monographic concert by the Ensemble Court-circuit devoted to the music of Philippe Hurel on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Frontiers also features contemporary pianist Xenia Pestova, the experimental and energetic Decibel and the Conservatoire’s own Thallein Ensemble for what promises to be a memorable journey of discovery.

For full programme details and examples of the performers’ works, please visit www.frontiersmusic.org. For further details about the Conservatoire’s Integra Lab, please visit www.bcu.ac.uk/integra

We look forward to welcoming you to another inspiring festival of cutting edge new music.

RYAN PROBERT PRESENTS: SELECTED KEYBOARD WORKS

5.45pm Pure Bar and Kitchen

Free event

Ryan A. Probert electric keyboard Thomas Caddick electric piano/clavichord

Plus special guests

A concert of works for various keyboard instruments, which have been recorded as part of Ryan A. Probert’s new album, presented here in new and expanded versions.

Ryan’s music takes inspiration from conscious and unconscious memory, using this to find unique approaches to composition and combining his love of melody, certain sonorities and episodic structure. The concept that outdated, kitsch or overly clichéd material can be transformed into something new and exciting often appears in his work.

‘Authentically of the present moment in their lightness and stubborn eccentricity… charmingly Satie-like in their oddity.’

Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph, on the music of Ryan Probert.


MON 23 MAR

THE HOUR GLASS

It is a 45-minute chamber electro-acoustic opera rooted in the traditional narrative-based form of music theatre, with a Libretto based on the William Butler Yeats play of the same title.

By combining the spiritual, divine and innocent, you will be treated to an ambiguous and yet compelling imaginary landscape.

Witness an exciting, visceral and yet at times serene suite of music divided by two bands. This music is inspired by and expresses the conflict within, and between, two separate states.

PHILIPPE HUREL & L’ENSEMBLE COURT-CIRCUIT


£6.50 (£4) or 2 performances for £10 (£5) Tickets available from www.eventbrite.co.uk*

L’ensemble Court-circuit

Philippe Hurel Plein jeu Philippe Hurel Trait d’union Philippe Hurel Interstices Philippe Hurel D’un trait

It is our great pleasure to welcome L’ensemble Court-circuit performing a programme of Phillippe Hurel’s music. Hurel is a prominent figure in French contemporary music, whose highly inventive work encompasses spectralist techniques, serialist polyphonic structures, and the driving rhythms of jazz.

The programme features four recent pieces. Plein-jeu explores the intersection between acoustic and electronic sounds, and the organ-like sonorities of the accordion. Interstices, for piano and three percussionists, is a very energetic and rhythmical piece in which even the most static and poetic moments are disrupted by interventions of incisive rhythmic motives.

Trait d’union is a work of extreme dramatic tension for violin and cello; and finally D’un trait, a piece for solo cello that emerged directly from Hurel’s relationship with tonight’s cellist, Alexis Descharmes.

L’ensemble Court-circuit were founded by Hurel and Pierre André Valade over twenty years ago. Not shy of experimentation, they regard themselves as an art project promoting intense risk-taking, an agitator in the international contemporary scene. This concert promises to be a real highlight of this year’s Frontiers.
