[228.2] BREAKING THE ICE

Tonight at 23:45 (UK time) BBC Radio 3's Hear and Now, introduced by Sarah Walker, presents Big Noise, the collaboration between UK-based Icebreaker and Dutch ensemble Orkest de Volharding as they embark on their Contemporary Music Network tour. The programme includes four world premieres including two Radio 3 commissions by Joe Cutler ('Jack The Diamond's Jamming Station') and Yannis Kyriakides ('Lab Fly Dreams'), as well as new works by Dutch composers Cornelis de Bondt and Diderik Wagenaar. The concert took place at the South Bank in London last week, and I was lucky enough to be there. A review will follow.
