Next Tuesday, 1 October, the Atenea Quartet will give the premiere of Rock, Salt, Air, Water by Electra Perivolaris, holder of the first YCAT Composer Fellowship supported by the Trust.
The work is inspired by the coastlines of her home on the Scottish Isle of Arran and of the Aegean island of Chios, home of the Greek side of her family. In particular, it is the ‘tafoni’ — holes and circles that develop in the rock as it is weathered by salt, air and seawater — that have influenced her writing, as she maps in sound these multiple overlapping loops.
The concert is at 1 pm at the Wigmore Hall — full details and tickets here.
