BCMG at Aldeburgh Festival 2016

Inspired by Darwin’s The Origin of Species, Julian Anderson’s The Comedy of Change is a seven-movement exploration of changes, contrasts and development, while Benedict Mason’s Nodding Trilliums and Curve-Lined Angles is a joyous, extravagant quadruple percussion concerto.

Mason’s new piece is very much an unknown quantity and, if recent pieces are a guide, surprises are to be expected.

“Breathtaking… the new piece by Benedict Mason overturned all preconceptions of what a new piece should be.”
