hcmf// 2011 Xenakis Focus - tickets now on sale
Tickets for more events at this year's Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival are now on sale, offering the chance to secure your seat at some of the festival's most spectacular performances at a special discounted price.
hcmf//'s Xenakis focus kicks off the Festival on Friday 18 November with the launch of the documentary exhibition devoted to Xenakis at Huddersfield Art Gallery, Spherical Worlds. The exhibition is prepared by Sharon Kanach who worked very closely with Xenakis for two decades, as a translator of his works, as a scholar and as Vice-President of Centre Iannis Xenakis (formerly CCMIX) in France. The exhibition will be supplemented by material drawn from hcmf//'s own archive held by the University of Huddersfield. An overview of the life and work of Iannis Xenakis will also be presented on Friday 25 November as part of the hcmf// talks programme.
Arne Deforce performs two of Xenakis' classic works for solo cello accompanied by James Dillon's EOS (Thursday 24 November) and Mark Knoop explores three of Xenakis' mature works for solo piano (Friday 25 November).
The Arditti Quartet, without whose presence the Festival would hardly be complete, perform a concert of Xenakis works for strings and piano with pianist Ian Pace (Friday 25 November).
And on the final day of the Festival New London Chamber Choir, under the direction of Clement Power, and the New Music Players present a concert devoted to Xenakis' rarely-performed large-scale choral works.
