Myth and Ritual Robin Michael, Peter Evans, Joby Burgess Queens Hall, Edinburgh, 85-89 Clerk Street EH8 9JG Booking: Queens Hall - 0131 668 2019 Edinburgh Contemporary Arts Trust (ecat) is highlighting the work of one of Scotland’s leading composers in its final concert of the season. The concert will feature the Scottish premiere of McLeod’s [i]Thrashing the Sea God[/i] – a little Chinese opera for solo percussion in which the player, dressed as a principal soprano of the Imperial Chinese Opera of Canton, sings and plays his/her way through the colourful story. Star percussionist [b]Joby Burgess[/b] will be the soloist in this unusual work which will fill the stage with an array of exotic instruments. Also featured in the programme will be the world premiere of McLeod’s [i]The Song of Leda[/i] played by [b]Robin Michael[/b] (cello) and [b]Peter Evans[/b] (piano). This is the fourth work in an on-going series of pieces reflecting the composer’s life-long interest in classical mythology. Investment from [b]Creative Scotland[/b] and the [b]Hope Scott Trust[/b] has allowed McLeod to explore and develop new technical possibilities for this instrumental duo. This fascinating concert entitled [i]Myth and Ritual[/i] will also feature music by [b]Claude Vivier[/b] and [b]Walter Zimmermann[/b]. McLeod : Thrashing the Sea God McLeod : The Song of Leda |
