BCMG Music & Maths Festival Feat. BEAST

In celebration of revolutionary composer Iannis Xenakis’s centenary, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group have created a festival for all senses, with partners from Sound and Music, University of Birmingham, and PRiSM (Royal Northern College of Music). This one-day event will include talks, a Drawing Scoring workshop, and an array of performances of Xenakis’s works by BCMG musicians.

The finale of the festival will include an immersive electroacoustic performance with BEAST, featuring the performance of Xenakis’s La Legende d’Eer (1978), and the world premiere of Sergio Luque’s newly composed work, It Is Happening Again (2019-20/2021). We will also hear from Dr Christopher Haworth, Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Birmingham for an insight into the work of Xenakis and his influence on music.
