hcmf// Justė Janulytė

Ligeti Quartet present a re-imagining of Justė Janulytė’s 2018 work for four string quartets, titled for a word game of geometric figures. In the original, the groups are placed around the audience, forming a square, whilst the music moves in circular patterns. In this new version, Ligeti Quartet will perform amplified with three pre-recorded layers played back in quadraphonic speaker formation.

Kings Place: Terry Riley

Terry Riley’s contribution to the string quartet canon is celebrated with a performance of his seminal work, Cadenza on the Night Plain, and a premiere of a new arrangement of Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band (the B-side of Riley’s much-loved 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air). Alongside this, their interpretation of 70 Chords by Terry by one of Riley’s fellow travellers, Pauline Oliveros, whose approach to listening and improvisation revealed radical new ways of communal music-making.
