'Stanzas' of 'the Law of the Good Neighbour' by Henry Andersen

3.30pm, 8th October
Club Room, 14 University Gardens, 
University of Glasgow

‘Stanzas’ or 'the Law of the Good Neighbour’ by Henry Andersen 
Henry Anderson, Jack Wansbrough (voices)
Sebastian Lexer (piano+)
 
Entry: free/donations
 
‘Stanzas’ or 'the Law of the Good Neighbour’ by Henry Andersen (BE)
 
Henry Andersen's debut vinyl is a recording of the longrunning piece 'Stanzas' or 'the Law of the Good Neighbour'. On each side, a pair of his friends reads simultaneously from a list of words. The list is an unfinished result of a word game Andersen has been playing for several years; a miss-mash of place names, puns, jokes, rhymes, pop-culture references. Stanzas... is a precise text-sound composition, a liquid and elegant piece of concrete poetry that reveals the individual qualities of the voices and their interpersonal relation. 
 
Henry Andersen is a Brussels-based visual artist and composer. Trained as a minimal and reductionist composer under the wings of Peter Ablinger, he moved from music into visual art, writing and sound performances. 
 
 
Sebastian Lexer : piano+ : improvised : in between the acoustic and electronic
 
The computerised augmentation of the acoustic piano, the piano+, has developed from a combination of conventional and extended playing techniques, prepared piano and electronic real-time modifications of its sounds. The interest in free improvisation, the motivation to work with sounds by exploring their contingent qualities in timbre, dynamic and microstructures, has inspired a different mode of interaction with the technology, allowing a very close relationship between acoustic instrument and electronic modifications, while retaining a fundamental pianism.
 
The concert series INTERLACE explores free improvisation, electronics, and performance of experimental and interactive compositions.

RSNO - Symphony, Soup and a Sandwich

7.30pm 23rd Nov, New Auditorium, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Something old, something new, something borrowed…Stravinsky’s zesty homage to the 18th century gets this year’s series of lunchtime musical feasts off to a mouth-watering start. And when the young New Zealand-born conductor Gemma New unleashes Beethoven’s volcanic Seventh Symphony in the intimate surroundings of the New Auditorium – well, let’s just say that it should certainly recharge your batteries! First, though, something from Scotland. Sally Beamish’s Frankenstein-inspired Whitescape tells a tale of ice, fog and mystery…

RSNO - China Story

7.30pm, 29th Sept - Usher Hall
7.30pm, 30th Sept - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

‘A broad mind and a big heart’ – that’s the spirit embodied in the music of Xiaogang Ye, arguably China’s greatest living composer in the Western classical tradition. Colourful, melodious and deeply emotional, his music draws on the ancient poetry of China to tell universal stories. Gilbert Varga and four handpicked soloists share that beauty tonight, alongside the music of Benjamin Britten – another great composer who took his inspiration from wind, water and the human heart.
