Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 7.30pm RILEY: IN C Kings Place Kings Cross, London United Kingdom
London Sinfonietta
As John Adams once described it, minimalism is to music what spring cleaning is to our environment. What better way to start the new year afresh than two concerts of minimalism’s most celebrated composers, whose music holds listeners in a joyous, hypnotic soundworld. The first is a performance of Terry Riley’s In C, a work that defined a new style of composition. The first half will consist of works which were inspired by, or written as a tribute to, In C.
This concert is followed one month later by a stack of must-see Steve Reich pieces including Clapping Music, performed by Reich himself; click here for details.
Part of the Kings Place Minimalism Unwrapped series.

Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7.30pm DILLON: STABAT MATER DOLOROSA Queen Elizabeth Hall, London South Bank, London SE1 United Kingdom 08700 606 096 http://www.rfh.org.uk

“A Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival highlight… beautiful, distant and compelling" **** The Guardian (on the world premiere in November).
One of the most celebrated but least performed composers in the UK, James Dillon has described his music as like ‘stepping into the magic circle'.
In this, the London premiere of his new work for choir, ensemble and electronics, Dillon explores the myth surrounding one of the most important texts in Biblical history, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Combining the original Latin text with excerpts from an essay by radical feminist writer Julie Kristeva, John Donne’s A Valediction and even a letter to Picasso from his mother, this contemporary rendering of Mary’s lamentation at the foot of the cross will have a powerful, expressive impact.
Commissioned by BBC Radio 3, hcmf// and Casa da Música Porto.
