Approved

The first of two concerts imagined by the Kreutzer Quartet as responses to this year’s Aldeburgh Festival opera, Giant. Including a world premiere by Sarah Angliss, featuring two voices, a string quartet, field recordings and live electronics.

The first of many opportunities at this year’s Aldeburgh Festival to hear magic in the overlapping of musical ideas. Following the world premiere of new opera Giant, this programme reflects the spirit of the evening, as well as its own world.

In Haydn’s String Quartet in D minor, the world falls to pieces. Early Priaulx Rainier reflects on endings and beginnings. Sadie Harrison’s piece references ancient and contemporary London threaded together by the “liquid history” of the Thames. And Eleanor Alberga’s Remember is a study of memory and time.

Buying the Wind is composed by Giant’s Sarah Angliss with poet Hannah Lowe, exploring the UK’s deep connection with wind and tide. The duo have excavated archives, half-memories, folklore and more to conjure all that’s been carried to our shores. The Quartet are joined by sopranos Melanie Pappenheim & Gweneth Ann Rand.

With thanks to the PRS Foundation for their support for Buying the Wind.
