About this event

Balancing rich compositional structures with open-ended freedom, the music thrives on the dynamic interplay between individuals and the ensemble as a whole. The line up of leading UK musicians each bring their distinctive approach to this fluid and ever-evolving sound world and are given free reign to lead the ensemble as they wish.
