About This Event

The Ensemble Intercontemporain commemorates the late Pierre Boulez 鈥� composer, conductor, polemicist and founder of the ensemble 鈥� with a programme of pieces he conducted during more than 40 years of appearances at the Proms. His Anth猫mes 2, for violin and electronics, contrasts with the exuberant vocal setting of avian poetry by E. E. Cummings, performed by the 麻豆社 Singers.

Around these come Bart贸k鈥檚 earthy Village Scenes and Elliott Carter鈥檚 Penthode 鈥� written for tonight鈥檚 ensemble 鈥� a slow movement of geological power that has been compared to the steady glide of tectonic plates.
