Open Circuit offers contemporary music events in Liverpool that provide academic context on the future of music making and technology, including panel discussions, artist talks and public demonstrations. Post-graduate composers Brittany Collie and Daniel Thorne present their compositions alongside two of today’s most well-known American composers: Meredith Monk, and Steve Reich, whose Double Sextet was co-commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company for the European Capital of Culture 2008 and also who won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Music.

This concert is made possible through the University of Liverpool’s HE partnership with Liverpool Philharmonic.
