Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama: Cardiff

Ensemble 360 and Claire Booth, who have forged a dynamic partnership through their performances of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire together, now turn their attention to Berio’s quirky and intriguing Folk Songs in the composer’s centenary year. Indeed, folk influences pervade the whole programme, from Rebecca Clarke’s pastoral-tinged duo for clarinet and viola and Katherine Hoover’s evocation of the Hopi people to Ravel’s sultry, sun-drenched pictures of Madagascar.

A preconcert thread of Berio Sequenzas sets the scene…..
