Gavin Bryars - The Sinking Of The Titanic (1975, Obscure)

In celebration of Gavin Bryars turning 80 at the beginning of the year, Phaedra Ensemble have created a programme showcasing the depth and breadth of the influential Yorkshire-born composer’s work. 

The concert opens with Bryars’ fourth string quartet and closes with one of his earliest works, 1971’s ‘1, 2, 1-2-3-4’, which asks its performers to recreate music they are listening to through a cassette player. 

That five-decade long sweep is filled out with two more Bryars compositions, including an unusually short take on the iconic ‘The Sinking of the Titanic’, inspired by story of the ship’s brass band playing on even as they were overcome by the Atlantic, as well as a rare performance of ‘A Man In A Room Gambling’, Bryars’ groundbreaking collaboration with the artist Juan Munoz.

Reflecting on his legacy, Phaedra Ensemble have commissioned British trumpet player and composer Laura Jurd (Lighting The Dark) to create a response to Bryars’ new string quartet which features her own improvisations, a tribute to Bryars’ time as a jazz bassist.  

The evening will begin with a conversation with Gavin Bryars. The programme will be accompanied by immersive multimedia creations by Phaedra Ensemble’s co-director, Jamie Hamilton.
