Lori Freedman Sheffield Nov 26th 2018
Notes and Sounds Presents:
Lori Freedman (bass clarinet and concept), Mick Beck (bassoon and t/sax) leading a Manchester group, Distractfold, comprising Linda Jankowska (violin, electronics); Rocío Bolaños (clarinets, objects, electronics); Daniel Brew (electric guitar); Alex Todd (percussion)
Lori Freedma has been conspicuously described as “a musical revolutionary in the front ranks of the avant-garde”. With full throttle in both contemporary and improvised music streams she is known internationally for her provocative and creative performances. Over forty-five composers have written solo bass clarinet music for her and her work has been recorded on forty CDs, most recently Bridge (CQB/DAME), Plumb (Barnyard Records), 3 and À un moment donné (Ambiances Magnétiques), Huskless! (Artifact), See Saw and Thin Air (Wig). In 1998 she received the 1998 Freddie Stone Award for the “demonstration of outstanding leadership, integrity and excellence in the area of contemporary music and jazz.” Highlight collaborations in the recent past are with Joëlle Léandre, Mauricio Kagel, Rohan de Saram, Frances-Marie Uitti, Philippe Leroux, George Lewis, and Helmut Lachenmann. Her compositions have been performed by the Queen Mab Trio, Upstream Octet, Arraymusic Ensemble and l’Ensemble Supermusique.

Sheffield's groundbreaking antichoir Dec 15
We've been invited back to Bishops House for a second performance of this wonderful piece!
Sheffield's groundbreaking antichoir, Juxtavoices, have created a new piece written specifically for Bishops' House, which is a half-timbered house in the Norton Lees district of the City of Sheffield, England. It was built c. 1500 and is located on the southern tip of Meersbrook Park. It is one of the three surviving timber-framed houses in the city. For this composition, Juxtavoices will be using the actual fabric of the building and its mysterious sounds and spaces in order to create an unforgettable sonic experience for the audience - we can't tell you exactly what we're going to do, that would spoil it!
We will be previewing the piece in a brief performance at 3pm, while the house is still open to the public, and then again at 4pm with some extra material.
Admission free.
