Formerly known as the Laura Jurd Quartet, a new band awakens from the jaws of extinction. They are Dinosaur and they join the 鶹 Concert Orchestra tonight to give you an evening of fiery sonic experimentation and abstraction. 鶹 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Laura Jurd has a passion for “making things up” and today's concert opens with her new work for orchestra & Dinosaur, combining influences from both classical and jazz music. We also hear a new work by Norwegian Tuba player Daniel Herskedal who defies the conventions of his instrument. He pushes the boundaries both technically and sonically creating spellbinding and mesmerising sounds.
