Psappha Unconducted
The much anticipated Steve Reich UK ensemble première would make this concert unmissable even without the rest: a younger composer from the U.S., Sean Friar, takes off from minimalism in his own way, Gordon McPherson offers spectacular impressions of three great film stunt artists, and new talent is on show from student composers.
