Programme

Gareth Farr’s exciting and virtuosic ‘Marimba concerto’ opens this programme, followed by Josiah Carr’s slowly unfolding ‘redwood’, which is inspired by the redwood pines at the Whakarewarewa forest in Rotorua. We finish with Jeremy Mayall’s short ‘The Effect of Bundled Sticks on Sound’, which transforms the sound of the bassoon with live electronics.
