Emergence

BEAST’s season opener showcases music which takes full advantage of the sweeping possibilities of the Dome Room, featuring artists from Birmingham and abroad. The musical arc reaches its culmination with noted British composer Denis Smalley, celebrating his 70th year, who joins us to present his most recent large-scale work, the Fabrezan Preludes, which takes as its centrepiece the resonant chords of Debussy’s Engulfed Cathedral.
