A rare opportunity to enter the electroacoustic sound-world.

While Jonathan Harvey's UK premiere plays on the musical content of speech, his Tombeau de Messiaen is his homage to 'a great musical and spiritual presence' - represented tonight by the Concert à quatre, a work completed after Messiaen's death by his widow Yvonne Loriod.

As well as Harvey's classic Mortuos plango, vivos voco, the concert features two works by one of the earliest pioneers of electronic music.
