Faster Than Sound
Faster Than Sound: London Contemporary Orchestra
Mara Carlyle singer
Cynthia Millar, Valerie Hartmann-Claverie ondes martenot
Hugh Brunt conductor
The LCO make their Faster Than Sound debut in a programme of new music from some of the UK's most engaging young voices.
A set of love songs from Emily Hall, developed over two residencies with long-time collaborator writer Toby Litt and singer-songwriter Mara Carlyle, forms the centre piece of the programme.
The evening also showcases new works from Jonathan Cole and Tristan Brookes, plus a performance of Jonny Greenwood's beautifully creepy smear, scored for ensemble and two ondes martenots.
Pre-event talk with the creative team.
Jerwood Kiln Studio, Snape 4pm. Admission free, but please book.
Juneau Projects will construct a bold and immersive room-encompassing music and video installation. They incorporate custom-made sculptural instruments, sound reactive visuals inspired by the Aldeburgh area, plus a set of songs featuring live musical improvisations by LCO members.

London Contemporary Orchestra
The LCO draws together London’s brightest young talent to explore and promote contemporary music to an increasingly wide audience. LCO's aim is to stimulate and enlighten through its fresh approach and dynamic performances.
Formed in 2008, the LCO has worked alongside distinguished artists such as Matmos, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Sound Intermedia, choreographer Darren Johnston, Mark-Anthony Turnage and United Visual Artists, and commissioned music from emerging composers, Emily Hall, Shiva Feshareki and Anna Meredith. Recent highlights include sell-out performances at the Roundhouse and Village Underground.
'Young, free and singularly special. Watch out London Sinfonietta and Nash Ensemble - there's a new kid on the block.' Daily Telegraph
