About the concert

The ensemble presents new work composed for the ensemble by Cat Hope, Mary Bellamy, Charlie Sdraulig, Jakob Bragg and Richard Barrett- a rare mix of prodigious virtuosity combined with deep consideration of the nature and physicality of sound. The concert consists almost entirely of world premieres bringing together unique and compelling compositional visions.

Praise for ELISION

‘ELISION’s prodigious virtuosity pushes beyond itself to what lies on the other side: queer, strange, insatiable vitality.’ Liam Cagney GRAMOPHONE
