  • Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama: Cardiff

    Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama North Road, Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales
    Robert Plane (clarinet)

    In the shadows, something moves. It scurries, it echoes, it calls and – like a spectre or the voice of the soul – it responds. Pierre Boulez’s extraordinary Dialogue de l’ombre double is a true modern classic: a fantastic, haunting conversation between one world-class player and his other self. And when that player is the RWCMD’s own Head of Woodwind Performance, clarinettist Robert Plane, the results are likely to be unforgettable.

    Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama North Road, Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales
    Ensemble 360 and Claire Booth (soprano)

    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…..

    Join members of Ensemble 360 in the Carne Foyer at 6pm for a pre-concert performance of Luciano Berio's Sequenzas:

    Luciano Berio: Sequenza Ixa for Clarinet
    Luciano Berio: Sequenza III for Female Voice
