Chamber Concert 1: Yarn/Wire

US ensemble Yarn/Wire bring their trademark precision and energy to Tectonics.

Andrew McIntosh Hyenas in the Temples of Pleasure (European Premiere)

Thomas Meadowcroft Walkman Antiquarian (European Premiere)

Acclaimed for their “spellbinding virtuosity” (Time Out New York) US ensemble Yarn/Wire bring their trademark precision and energy to works written for them. Thomas Meadowcroft’s Walkman Antiquarian uses samples from the composer’s father’s record collection in conjunction with a grand piano, while Hyenas in the Temples of Pleasure is modelled in part after a poem by LA-based poet Brendan Constantine.
