Can Music Be Kind: Friendly Piece Hamilton, A.

Public

Friendly Piece

Approved

Can music be kind? This performance by Crash Ensemble of their major new commission from Irish composer Andrew Hamilton explores friendliness and loving kindness through music that revels in ambiguity and defies constraints.

​

‘I have aimed to make this a piece of music that is “habitable”. Somewhere you can sit in, somewhere that might give you a tiny bit of joy or likewise infuriate you!’, explains Hamilton, who wrote the work in 2019, during his time as composer in residence with Crash. Friendly Piece is about precision, but leaves room for freedom, drawing on multifarious influences—from ancient Buddhist texts to painting and sculpture. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this fascinating new work where, in the words of the composer, ‘everything belongs’.
