This unique spotlight on the orchestra of True Concord, highlights not one but three violin soloists from this talented ensemble.

Approaching Dutilleux is a series of recordings taken from a concert project that took place in London and Cambridge in May 2014. Scheduled on the one-year anniversary of Henri Dutilleuxs death (22 May, 2013), five emerging composers from around the world were commissioned to write pieces inspired and/or informed by Dutilleuxs masterwork Les Citations. This CD brings together all five of these new works, with their many different visions of and approaches to Dutilleux, along with Arlene Sierras Petite Grue, written on the occasion of Dutilleuxs visit to Cardiff University in 2008.

The Four Seasons by Noah Creshevsky
Purchase a CD from Tzadik
Noah Creshevsky composes some of the most meticulously constructed electronic music around. For his third Tzadik CD he has created a sonic history of his life work, inspired by the idea of a retrospective. The Four Seasons presents a new large-scale composition the reflects his work from 1992 on to his present work with Hyperrealism, creating virtual “super-performers” using the sounds of voices and traditional instruments pushed beyond human capacities. Another brilliant and varied program charting one of the world’s most important composers of electronic music!

Four-channel sound installation presented by Experimental Sound Studio as part of their Florasonic series. Four voices (Jeremiah Cawley, Amy Denio, Katherine Hanson, Maria Mannisto) sing the Latin names of nearly all of the species in the conservatory’s Fern Room, over drones derived from a field recording of the room. The common English names of the ferns are whispered in the background.
