Friday the 13th sees the return of the LCMF Orchestra, and three major new commissions by improvisers Maggie Nicols and Sofia Jernberg, and composer Laurence Crane, alongside an extremely rare performance of Yves Klein’s influential – and infamous – Monotone-Silence Symphony (1947/61) and a text score from Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit, all conducted by festival co-director Jack Sheen (pictured above).
We present Gag, a new work by composer Edward Henderson, composed for and with Tara Cunningham, Gwen Reed and Theo Guttenplan, the UK premiere of KIND, by German composer Lisa Streich, for guitar, hairclips and egg slicer, the third in a four part series of audio works by artist Matt Copson, alongside a new live set by cult electronic vandals EVOL.
At the night’s centre will be a much anticipated presentation of a 5,000-year-old tradition that nearly went extinct in the 20th century: the Kurdish art of dengbêj-singing. We welcome one of the masters, Dengbêj Kazo, who will showcase this highly expressive, highly refined story-telling form.
