Each evening will unveil new innovative >>and inspiring work from an eclectic blend of highly individual musical >>visions. The focus is on music that crosses >>the conventional lines of categorisation; mixing genres, using >>technology to compliment acoustic instruments and reflecting a >>new breed of cosmopolitan classical music. The goal of the >>performances is to provide a platform to premiere exciting work >>and to highlight London as the focal point for young and fresh >>Contemporary Classical music internationally. 291 itself is a suitably >>dramatic setting, having been recently converted from a former neo-gothic >>church into a multi-media arts venue and bar. Mavericks of New Music was >>inspired by the enormous demand for >>new cutting-edge classical work by young, and culturally diverse London >>artists. A recent performance by the group Instrumental >>at 291 received a tremendous response, and provides the perfect >>introduction for the great things to come. >> >>SATURDAY, APRIL 29TH The series kicks off with a performance by >>the Composer and Vocalist Rhett Brewer with The Orchestra, >>who headline an evening of atmospheric, evocative music. >>As one of the few black classical composers, Brewer's music defies >>categorisation. Spiritually latent and emotionally charged composition >>forms the background for his other-worldly Counter- >>Tenor voice. Brewer seamlessly mixes elements of Medieval Choir, >>Arabic Chant, East European Hymn and Urban Chic. The result is a revolving >> journey between the quietly introspective and the dramatic release. >> Instrumentation is eclectic- ranging from Orchestra, Choir and >>Percussion, to the more singular Marimba, >>Pipe Organ and Bardic Flute. The Orchestra itself was formed to expose >>new music to a new audience. Comprised of 20 professional >>musicians, their projects are extremely varied, from Nitin Sawney >>and Riyuchi Sakamoto, to a recent performance with DJ Spacer at the Spitz. >> The Orchestra pioneers ground-breaking new work, and is equally as >>adept at world music as classical. When Brewer >>released his debut album THE EBBING WINGS OF WISDOM, Melody Maker >>proclaimed: "Brewer is the New Classical Underground!" And >>following the sold-out shows at The Union Chapel last year, expect >>to be on the edge of your seat, if you can get one! >> >>Attendance at the performance will also provide free entry into the >>on-site late bar. >> >>SATURDAY -APRIL 29TH- 8PM >> >> >>291: >>291 Hackney Road >>Shoreditch, London E2 8NA >>NEAREST TUBE: Old Street, or Liverpool Street >> >>RESERVE TICKETS: 020 7613 5676 >>Tickets: £8 (£5 concs.) >> >>FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION >>EMAIL: [log in to unmask] >> > >______________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
