Multi-media music experience at Kettle’s Yard

The collective has been named as the New Music Associates at Kettle’s Yard for 2008-9 - and in what promises to be a unique gig on Wednesday - the audience will see and hear music meld with animation, film and electronic soundtracks.
Tomorrow’s concert includes a piece written by Emily Hall, put on flesh, which mixes live solo cello with an electronic soundtrack taken from an intense sermon delivered by the Reverend Audrey F. Branson, a lady pastor of the Church of the Open Door of Philadelphia.

Other works include hoist by Mark Bowden, written for pebbles with film, and Anna Meredith’s beat-based remix of Scotland the Brave. More new works are being written especially for the performers by the Camberwell Composers’ Collective.
The collective’s work tomorrow will be performed by Neil Georgeson (piano), Oliver Coates (cello), Stuart King (clarinet), and Naxto Molins (percussion).

The Camberwell Composers’ Collective is Mark Bowden, Emily Hall, Chris Mayo, Anna Meredith and Charlie Piper. Individually well established in their field, the thread that binds them is their desire to bring music to new audiences in new ways.
As individuals, the five members of the Camberwell Composers’ Collective have won the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize four times, first and second prize at the 10th International Young Composers' Meeting and the Genesis Opera Project. They have been composers-in-residence at Handel House, Tatton Park and with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

They have received also commissions from top music institutions, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the London Contemporary Orchestra, Radio France, Aldeburgh Productions, Faster than Sound, the London Sinfonietta, and for the Last Night of the Proms.

Tickets for the 8pm concert are £10 (£5 students) and are available or online at www.adcticketing.com
