Juxtaposition
Friday 10 July 2009, 8:00pm

Musarc, Entr’acte and the choir at the Department of Architecture and Spatial Design, London Metropolitan University, present a diverse and unusual mid-summer programme of music and performances in one of the world’s oldest and last surviving grand music halls.

Juxtaposition brings together traditional and modern choral and instrumental works by composers as diverse as di Lasso, William Billings and Zoltán Kodály with contemporary performance and electronic music. The evening includes a rare performance of Morton Feldman’s Palais de Mari and John Cage’s The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs for voice and closed piano; Piece for score, a new performance for electronics and voice by sound artist Sam Belinfante; and Kallabris: Inbetween the sound sound. A sound understanding of a phrase and the misinterpretation of its meaning, a performance by German experimental musician Michael Anacker.

For Juxtaposition there is no traditional stage and performances happen as consecutive events in space. The audience will be required to stand and make use of the auditorium floor. Some seating will be available. The performance will last approximately 90 minutes.
