The new edition looks to celebrate Perry\u2019s centenary of her birth, and provide a clear template from which other ensembles can perform this work from one of America\u2019s most influential and underappreciated composers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis work is a fabulous example of Perry\u2019s modernist style,\u201d says LCO music director Orlando Cela. \u201cOne can hear Perry as a mature composer, masterfully handling complex rhythms and harmonies, and presenting a piece that moves from the majestic to the introspective, and then to an electrifying ending.\u201d<\/p>\n
The concert will also include a world premiere by Martin Max Schreiner – his score being one of the winners of the 2023 LCO Call-for-Scores – and conclude with a rendition of B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k\u2019s \u201cMusic for String Instruments, Percussion, and Celesta.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two soloists, Yukiko Shimazaki on piano, and Nikki Huang on marimba – winner of the 2023 LCO Concerto Competition – will also be featured.<\/p>\n
The concert is free to attend.<\/p>\n
