The London Improvisers Orchestra (LIO) celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2008. The

members of this 20- to 40-strong ensemble hail from the worlds of jazz, pop, folk, world and classical traditions. Each

performance involves a directed ‘conduction’ and an undirected piece. Whatever happens, the LIO takes listeners on a roller-coaster ride to the outer limits

of their imagination.

New music specialists Darragh Morgan (violin) and Mary Dullea

(piano) play cutting-edge contemporary Irish music.

These virtuoso performers are among the leading champions of Ireland’s vibrant new music

scene. Their programme ranges across the styles and generations from well-known

names like Gerald Barry to some of the younger composers now gaining profile. Supported by

Culture Ireland, the Arts Council of Ireland. www.cmc.ie

The Composers Ensemble performs a selection of works,

ranging from the ghostly (Salvatore Sciarrino’s Let Me Die Before I Wake) to the tumultuous (Gerald Barry’s In the Asylum) by way of Franco Donatoni’s Spice

and the London premiere of John Woolrich’s A Dramolet.

An eclectic and intercontinental group of musicians – including a New York jazz flautist, a French

punk guitarist, a Chilean political songwriter, a German gondola pianist and a Japanese ultra-

modernist – write miniatures for the Edinburgh Quartet, linked by transformational sound-

design installations.

Celebrating Jonathan Harvey’s 70th birthday with the

composer himself. Pianist Philip Mead, cellist Neil Heyde, electronica manipulator Kaffe Matthews and others play Tombeau de Messiaen, Advaya, Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco, as well as more alternative works.

Plus an exclusive Q&A with Harvey.

During the 1970s a group of exiled South African jazz musicians - Dudu Pukwana,

Mongezi Feza, Chris McGregor - stamped their mark on UK music scene. Sophiatown To Camden

Town unites a cross-generational host of musicians to reinterpret

those classic post Township melodies and revive the sounds of freedom that connected the dark days of apartheid to inner

city London.

The debut of a new musical collective with a vibrant mix of

sonic explorations and influences – inspired by artists such as

Sun Ra, Eric Dolphy, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, Ornette

Coleman, Henry Threadgill and Charles Mingus. TSCR features some of the most original and

influential musicians in the UK, infusing the proceedings with their own Afro-Caribbean heritage as well as African and

Western classical music.

Oto Projects presents an evening of contemporary experimental music from Japan including

music from Tori Kudo & Reiko Kudo + other established figures

from the Japanese scene.‘Oto’ means sound, noise and music in Japanese, and since opening just over a year ago

Café Oto has forged close links with Japan’s avant-garde music

community. Catch this rare chance to experience one of the world’s most exciting and vibrant

underground music scenes.

Sum Over Histories examines the work of British composers

who have made recent and substantial contributions to

contemporary Australian musical life. The hyper-virtuosity of this repertoire is complemented by the dramatic composition of

pieces by American composers Evan Johnson and Aaron

Cassidy. The event features performances from Richard Haynes and Carl Rosman.

The legendary Sargasso:C events return with Lawrence Casserley, whose live sound

transmutations have established him as one of today’s great electronic improvisers. Plus

new music by composer Simon Emmerson and Daniel Biro with

the Vocal Motion Singers, in which gospel-inspired vocal

loops and electronica collide.

Leading Irish performers Ioana Petcu-Colan (violin)

and Michael McHale (piano) explore the more lyrical side of Ireland’s contemporary music. Taking as a starting point the

individual soundworlds of the violin and the piano, their programme points up themes of contrast and complement in works by Ronan Guilfoyle,

Philip Hammond, Philip Martin and Ian Wilson. Supported by

Culture Ireland, the Arts Council of Ireland. www.cmc.ie

Lithuanian contemporary music is a hidden gem of the European scene, characterised by a proto-

pagan minimalism and a folk inspired sensibility. Sutartinés form the bedrock of much new Lithuanian music, together with

electronica and the canonic inventions of composer Rytis Mažulis. Cellist and curator

Anton Lukoszevieze plays and introduces the Chordos String

Quartet, plus rarely heard music by leading Fluxus member

George Maciunas.
