The highlight of tonight’s packed programme is a major new work from one of our country’s greatest living composers. Commissioned by Psappha and written for incomparable jazz singer Ian Shaw and a 16-strong ensemble, Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Black Milk receives its world premiere tonight – and the composer himself will be on hand to introduce it. Also tonight, two works created for our Composing For project, Grace-Evangeline Mason’s hauntingly tender piece for solo harp and Matthew Grouse’s invigorating bassoon solo, and our Viennese whirl ends with chamber-group classics by Webern and Berg.
