In a concert given in the presence of the composer himself, É«ÂþÌìÌà musicians perform an eclectic range of his flamboyant ensemble scores.
George Lewis is a musical alchemist, turning an array of elements into gold: expect mind-expanding timbres, subtle textures and adventurous techniques incorporating electronics and experimental procedures. He is one of the most versatile musicians in the world, combining his practical experience of improvisation as a jazz trombonist with a meticulous and inventive mind, pioneering new technologies to create fresh palettes of musical colour.
Don’t miss the chance to hear George Lewis offer insights into his music during a pre-concert talk with É«ÂþÌìÌà Head of Composition, Professor Jonathan Cole.
This event is part of George Lewis Day.
