Programme Note
The Marsyas Trio’s position as one of the UK's foremost mixed chamber ensembles equips the group with a unique musical outlook.
The program celebrates iconic historic composers, including Beach and Farrenc who were active in bringing about change for women in the arts through their campaigns for equal pay and voting rights. In the second half, the Marsyas Trio will present a multimedia experience featuring composers' responses to the natural world. The Clothworkers's Hall is transformed through sound and light to emulate a series of short images of birds in flight in Ewan Campbell's recent collaboration with Spanish photographer Xavi Bou, and the underwater experience of Crumb's Vox Balaenae. The program also features the title track from the Marsyas Trio's brand new album, Alternative Readings, a recording that brings together the visionary compositions of Michael Finnissy, as featured on BBC Radio3's New Music show last month.
