London Contemporary Music Festival

Kate Molleson presents music recorded at the London Contemporary Music Festival in December - including new works by Elaine Mitchener and Neil Luck.

Kate Molleson presents music recorded at the London Contemporary Music Festival in December at Ambika P3. The programme includes two LCMF commissions by Elaine Mitchener and Neil Luck for the newly constituted LCMF Orchestra conducted by co-founder Jack Sheen. Both works push at the edges of orchestral writing, exploding the orchestra and muddying its conventions. Elaine Mitchener’s magical b r e a d t h b r e a t h, is ’an intimate encounter with singular rituals representing a musical microcosm’, and explores the personal and intimate while Neil Luck’s Regretfully Yours, Ongoing, sends the orchestra into overdrive!
