Resident at Southbank Centre
Friday 24 April 2009, 7.30pm
Programme includes:
Heiner Goebbels Songs of Wars I Have Seen
Sian Edwardsconductor
The London Sinfonietta and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment revive Heiner Goebbel's theatrical portrait of domestic
life during World War Two. Commissioned by Southbank Centre and first performed in July 2007, the work combines texts from
Gertrude Stein (spoken by the female members of the ensemble), with type-writer like ostinati, a crackling electronic soundtrack
and extracts from baroque composer Matthew Locke.
'A thought-provoking, hauntingly tender work for troubled
times' (Times).
