About this concert
Mariam Rezaei is a multi-award winning composer, turntablist and performer, creating music described as 鈥渉igh-velocity sonic surrealism鈥欌 (The Guardian). Alongside composer Matthew Shlomowitz, their co-created 鈥6 scenes鈥 are a divine collision of lots of things they love with some allusions to conventions from opera and concerti.
鈥淎 true master of expression and exactitude鈥 (Bachtrack), violinist Ilya Gringolts is as comfortable with the great orchestral repertoire as he is seeking out new musical challenges. Just shy of 50 years after the first renowned series of Capricci by Salvatore Sciarrino, Gringolts takes on this fresh set by the great composer. And each orchestral player is a soloist in Marc Yeats鈥檚 timecode-supported polytemporal work, which fluctuates between states of perceptual obfuscation and clarity.
