The world of Catoire (1923-2005) is an undiscovered continent. He has written 484 hours of music, most of which has never been heard. But with its meditative resonances it predates Part and Tavener by a decade and anticipated minimalism via a chromatic geometry of chords and intervals. This concert, as a memorial to his passing, is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in an exquisitely sacred sound world. Programme: Sonata for flute and piano VIII, Op.301 Sonata for 2 flutes, Op. 158 Sonata for clarinet and piano III, Op.445 Sonata for solo voice, Op. 195 Sonata for Piano XI, Op. 206(with synth sounds) James D'Angelo, piano Christine Turellier, flute Maxine Willis, flute Stephen Bennett, clarinet Camilla Otaki, soprano

A concert dedicated to peace in Sri Lanka Music performed on North and South Indian raga scales. Lisa Sangita Moskow takes the North Indian electric sarod, a 14-stringed lute into original byways of her musical imagination, constantly inventing new contexts for the unique sliding, bending,droning tones that sing from her instrument. She trained in North Indian classical music with maestro Ali Akbar Khan for more than 15 years, and has specialized in East- West collaborations since the late seventies. Manickam Yogeswaran is a Sri Lanka-born Tamil musician who specialises in South India's classical tradition known as Carnatic music, as well as working with world music and The Shout, a big voice ensemble. Lawrence Ball has developed raga scale performances with both Lisa and Yoga over several years. performers: Manickam Yogeswaran, voice Lisa Sangita Moskow, sarod Lawrence Ball, piano and synthesizer Camilo Tirado, tabla

HovhanessÕs best music (1944 to c.1970) reveals a unique and thoroughly convincing assimilation of highly disparate traditions coming to the fore and receding over the course of his career (e.g. Renaissance polyphony, South Indian classical music, Japanese Gagaku music, Korean Ah-ak music). In Hovhaness they find perhaps the most seamless alchemy of all because it was a musical engagement on an aesthetic as well as technical level. Programme: Lawrence Ball, String Quartet no.1, Bell Shapes, Energy Diamond, Piano Suite no.3 Alan Hovhaness, Bagatelles (for string quartet), String Quartet no.1, Ghazal No.1, Orbit No.1, Mystic Flute, Allegro on a Pakistan Lute Tune, Pastoral No.1, Jhala, Achtamar, Vanadour, Farewell to the Mountains Performers: Mark Swartzentruber, piano Brian Wright, violin tba, violin Phil D'Arcy, viola Dinah Beamish, cello Althea Ifeka, Cor D'Anglais
