What better way to ring in the Lunar New Year than with new music? Following a sold-out debut in January 2019, Tangram will return to LSO St Luke’s with an adventurous programme interweaving reimagined folk melodies with brand new compositions, remixing ideas of what Chinese music and contemporary classical music can be.
Bringing together alumni from Yo-Yo Ma's Silkroad Ensemble, Park Lane Group's Young Artist Series, the BBC Young Musician percussion finals, and all three of the LSO's composer schemes, Tangram will present new music of the highest standard through a seamless blend of Chinese and Western instruments. The evening will culminate in three exciting world premieres from acclaimed composers Alex Ho, Jasmin Kent Rodgman and Raymond Yiu.
The concert will be preceded by a panel discussion with composers Alex Ho and Jasmin Kent Rodgman, and ethnomusicologists Rachel Harris (SOAS) and Shzr Ee Tan (Royal Holloway). Together, they will introduce the new commissions and explore different perspectives on how transnational Chinese artists engage diasporic narratives through music. This pre-concert talk is free.
