Tickets for further events at the 2010 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival are now on sale and buying online could save you up to £5 per concert or £50 for a festival pass.

The new hcmf// concerts, detailed below, include the UK premiere of Enno Poppe’s Interzone, an ambitious exploration of the transitory nature of cities with accompanying visuals by Anne Quirynen. Performances by Quatuor Bozzini, Nieuw Ensemble and New London Chamber Choir with The Raschèr Quartet highlight the work of the late Argentinean composer Mauricio Kagel, whilst London Sinfonietta present a set of striking soundworlds with a programme including works by Iannis Xenakis and Rolf Wallin.

hcmf// also welcomes leading British composer Graham Fitkin, with a new piece written for Liverpool’s Ensemble 10/10 and a performance by his own high-energy nine-piece group Fitkin. Click here to read an interview in which he discusses his work and formative musical experiences.

In addition, tickets for the four concerts already announced are still available. These include performances by musikFabrik, ensemble recherche and Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and work by hcmf// 2010’s Composer in Residence, Rebecca Saunders.

The full programme for hcmf//, which takes place from Friday 19 November to Sunday 28 November 2010, will be released and go on sale in September. Online discounted prices are only available until 1 October (subject to availability).
