Alan Hovhaness Memorial/Music by Lou Harrison - Tania Chen

Conway Hall  £10/£6 concessions

Alan Hovhaness, who died in June 2000, was a great pioneer in integrating influences from the far east into symphonic and chamber music, predating the term world music by decades. Rarely performed outside the USA, this is an opportunity to experience his soundworld in concert. Lou Harrison is an American composer and a colossal innovator of musical composition and performance that transcends cultural boundaries, in his case speaking gamelan, ancient Greece, and Korean as well as contemporary European and American music.
