>>
>>MAVERICKS OF NEW MUSIC is a series of modern classical music
>>performances at 291 in East London, featuring important London
>>based composers and ensembles. 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.
