We’re delighted to kick off our 2019-20 season by welcoming Colombian composer Jorge Garcia Moncada back to Birmingham for a short visit. No stranger to BEAST, Jorge is enjoying a growing reputation both as an emerging figure of importance in the burgeoning Latin American scene and internationally. Since leaving the U.K. Jorge has established his own concert system, BLAST, and founded a significant festival, Spectra, now in planning for its third edition. During his visit, Jorge will be involved in an exciting range of activities (links for info):
October 9
11:30 MiniBEAST Concert presenting an overview of Latin American Electroacoustic Music
14:00 Research event alongside composer Rajmil Fischman (Peru/U.K.) on the same topic
October 10
October 12
17:00 Garcia / Mahtani / Wilson / Nyström at ARKH – Improv performance at Art Rooms Kings Heath
Hope to see some of you there for this exciting range of events!
