In 2009, hcmf is once again at the forefront of international contemporary music and sound art. Many of the festival events are premieres, including the world premiere of Richard Barrett’s Mesopotamia and the first UK performances of Wolfgang Rihm’s –ET LUX– and of three solo piano pieces by Anthony Braxton.

This year’s programme also highlights the long and innovative careers of several leading composers, including hcmf Composer in Residence Jonathan Harvey, who celebrates his 70th birthday this year; the Netherlands’ Louis Andriessen, also turning 70; and Emmanuel Nunes, Portugal’s greatest living composer.

An international bill of performers includes London Sinfonietta, Arditti Quartet, Musica Elettronica Viva, ELISION, Sarah Nicolls, Frederic Rzewski and Remix Ensemble. They are joined at hcmf 2009 by a host of new and emerging talents from the world of contemporary music.
