Programme Note
From engaging modern works from some of the most exciting new generation UK composers, to Looney Tunes!
Join us for a concert of two contrasting halves from the always-innovative Apollo Saxophone Quartet.
The first half features a specially selected mix of new compositions. They are cherry-picked from the Quartet’s library of over 120 premieres and commissions dedicated to the group over its history. Each of the five pieces showcases different aspects of the quartet’s highly distinctive sound world. They create moods, colours and textures, ranging from sublime and ethereal to driving, energetic and rhythmically compelling.
The second set showcases a handpicked selection of vintage cartoons, with live music brilliantly re-orchestrated from the original scores by the quartet. They will be played on the big screen alongside the Apollo’s live performance of the scores. These incredible animations are brought back to life just as they were perceived, with live music, live sound effects and with the original voices recorded in the studio in the first half of the twentieth century.
The dazzling imagination, skill, time and sheer effort involved in producing these seven minute cinematic wonders, well before the digital age, is astounding to see. Whether you are a child or an adult. expect a spellbinding and unforgettable performance.
