Serenade for a Satellite
Town Hall, Birmingham Victoria Square B3 3DQ United Kingdom 0121 780 3333 http://www.thsh.co.uk/BCMG conducted by Peter Wiegold This short late night event follows a 7.30pm concert by the innovative Icebreaker ensemble, who will be performing a live arrangement of Brian Eno’s seminal album Apollo, alongside NASA footage. In it we revisit three highlights from our April 2010 Serenade for a Satellite concerts.
Peter Wiegold is renowned for his brilliant interpretation of Bruno Maderna’s Serenata per un Satellite, a minor classic of Italian 20th Century music, written to celebrate the launch of the ESRO 1B Boreas Satellite in 1969. Wiegold’s Mysterium – a piece that combines written and devised music with live improvisation and recordings from the first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite, Sputnik – and Constellations, a collection of space-inspired movements by Param Vir – complete the programme.
This concert is part of Sounds of Space, a weekend of music, talks and events inspired by the wonders of the universe taking place in Birmingham’s Town Hall and Symphony Hall. For full programme information please www.thsh.co.uk/soundsofspace.Bruno Maderna : Serenata per un Satellite
