Hear And Now

Bath Festival

Saturday 26 June 2004 23:00-1:00 (Radio 3)

Alwynne Pritchard introduces two young ensembles recorded at this year's Bath Festival.

In an innovative venture, the Tate Ensemble led by clarinettist Vicky Wright has been working closely with various video artists and composers such as Donnacha Dennehy, Guy Harries, Matthew Shlomowitz, Gabriel Prokofiev and Gijs Kramers to create a series of pieces for quintet and DJ.

And later, percussion quartet 4-Mality led by Adrian Spillett performs high energy works by Benjamin Wallfisch, Jan Bradley, Russell du Plessis and Brian Irvine.

Duration:

2 hours
