MICHAEL FINNISSY
Câtana (1984) for nine musicians; First sign a sharp white moon, as if the cause of snow (1968-75) for solo alto flute; alongside new works by Oxford student composers

It is a huge pleasure to welcome one of Britain’s greatest living composers, Michael Finnissy, for this new music festival to celebrate his work in the lead-up to the composer’s eightieth birthday year. In his 6pm <speaks> talk, Michael discusses the aesthetic and technical ideas that helped form his work, and introduces a key early work, ‘Two Cut-ups of Three Fantasias by Alonso Mudarra’ (1966-67) played by Thomas Bruges (solo guitar). The following concert features ‘Câtana’, based on Romanian folk music alongside pieces by Oxford student composers chosen for this concert.
