audiograft festival – Wednesday 07 March – a Music interest event taking place on 2018-03-07 19:30:00 in United Kingdom
Icebreaker: System Restart Icebreaker builds on its reputation for championing new music by young musicians with the chops and attitude that redefine contemporary Western music practice. Six composers from this new generation populate the System Restart programme, and they are taking high profile prizes and establishing increasingly international profiles. As it turns out, they are all women; Kerry Andrew (UK), Linda Buckley (IRL), Elizabeth Kelly (US/UK), Anna Meredith (UK), Kate Moore (AU/NL), and Jobina Tinnemans (NL/UK). Known for laser focus, precision and intensity, Icebreaker performs music appealing to contemporary classical, rock and alternative music audiences alike. Appearing at most major contemporary music festivals around the world, the eleven-piece ensemble present the works some of the best known and most influential composers in contemporary music, such as Michael Nyman, David Lang, Michael Gordon, Gavin Bryars, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Barry Adamson and Donnacha Dennehy. Recent performances of Icebreaker arrangements of Brian Eno's album Apollo, the early works of Kraftwerk (Kraftwerk Uncovered), and Scott Walker's Epizootics! have garnered critical praise and celebration. Expect a raucous and enlightening night of new music. audiograft is a PWYD (Pay What You Decide) festival.
