British music of the latter part of the twentieth century has been some of the most influential the world hasseen. It was Benjamin Britten who put Great Britain on the world map, and ever since, British composershave been taken very seriously. Such figures as Jona-than Harvey, Harrison Birtwistle, Peter MaxwellDavies, Thomas Adés, Oliver Knussen, George Benja-min, John Tavener, etc have guided and informed andinspired other composers worldwide – and in so many different ways. These names are but a few and it would be churlish to think that’s it, but the list is too long to cite here.

Theme GB is all about British contemporary music. Is there another contemporary music festival thatwould so boldly embrace and include so many British composers and so many different styles, from thehardest edged to the almost warm and cuddly? In this year’s programme, you can hear music of greatBritish masters alongside bright young things. You will hear classics of our time, and premieres too. Andperforming all this are some of the best of British tal-ent – from The King’s Singers to the BBC Big Band,from Julian Joseph and his trio to the Arditti String Quartet, from Grimethorpe Colliery Band to theLondon Sinfonietta.

Our venues range from the great Cathedral in Canter-bury to the brand new Turner Contemporary inMargate. Venues in Canterbury include those at Can-terbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent – and we even have a day of music-making in Whitefriars Shopping Centre! And let’s not forget theextraordinary new Marlowe Theatre – a brand new building that we can all be so proud of.

MUSIC FESTIVAL

We are programming some significant works that are rarely performed, especially John Tavener’smagnificent, spiritual and monumental Veil of the Tem-ple, Jonathan Harvey’s extraordinary Bhakti, PeterMaxwell Davies’ effervescent A Mirror of Whitening Light and Thomas Adés’ beguiling Arcadiana. Thereare many premieres, but we are hugely proud to pre-sent the world premiere of John Croft’s new chamberopera, Les Malédictions d’une Furie. There are platforms for many young composers, some of whom arewinners and participants on the International Com-poser Pyramid scheme – and they are among the verybest in the world!

Sounds New is all about the ‘best’ of the musicof our time, and we plan concerts that invigorate and inspire. That’s what the Olympics do, isn’t it? Invigorate and inspire!

Sounds New 2012 presents a melting pot of styles and a breeding ground for new and innovative work. Andit is all from Great Britain! Come and discover the great riches our composers create. In July, you canapplaud the achievements of our great athletes.

Sir PeterMaxwellDavies

6pm – Augustine HallIn Association with Canterbury Christ Church University

One of the foremost composers of our time, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has madea significant contribution to musical history through his wide-ranging andprolific output. In a work-list that spans more than five decades, he has writtenacross a broad range of styles, yet his music always communicates directly and powerfully, whether in his profoundly argued symphonic works, his music theatre or witty light orchestral works. In this evening’s concert we shall be hearing his entrancing ‘A Mirror of Whitening Light’.

‘Gabriel Prokofiev had Joby Burgess, the soloist, coax all manner of sounds from the oxlike instrument, often wielding multiple sticks in each hand … the words athleticism and stamina come to mind.’James R. Oestreich, New York Times, February 2012

Genre-trashing British percussionist Joby Burgess is best known for his virtuosic, lissom performances and regularly appears throughout Europe, the USA and beyond with artists including Stewart Copeland, Peter Gabriel and Joanna MacGregor. Powerplant is an inspiring collaboration of British artists, comprising of Joby Burgess’ playing and electronics with cin-ematic sound by Matthew Fairclough and bespokefilm by Kathy Hinde. In a lavish audio-visual feast the worlds of minimalism and electronica collide: explosive drumming, lush xylosynth, found objects, American presidents, traces of Michael Haneke and Franz Schubert culminate in Powerplant’s landmark collaboration with electronic composer Gabriel Prokofiev.

A FURY’S CURSES

8pm – Turner Contemporary, Margate

MEZZO-SOPRANO LORÉ LIXENBERG COMPOSER: JOHN CROFT

In Association with Brunel University

A Fury’s Curses is an opera-monodrama by John Croft, based on Jean Tardieu’s one-woman theatre piece, Les Malédictions d’une Furie with Loré Lixenberg as the Fury. Scored for voice, bass and contrabass flutes, violoncello, percussion, live electronics and electroa-coustic sounds, this will be a world premiere. Tardieu’s play presents a relentless denunciation of the human condition and of the gods who have created such a world of futile suffering.

The music draws on the alternation of rage and lament in the text, creating a sonic world of thunder-ing fulmination and fragile threnody. This new work builds on the composer’s pioneering work with live electronics in order to evoke the Fury’s vacillation between these expressive extremes, creating the cha-otic, primordial sonic environment demanded by the play. The electronic treatments include live spectral processing and timbral transformation of a kind that has only very recently become possible, expanding the sounds of the contrabass flute to cataclysmic levels, or drawing out fragile interior sounds that are normally inaudible. The voice of Loré Lixenberg will be at times heard untreated, at other times transformed and multiplied to suggest the supernatural being of the Fury. The structure falls into a number of sections, each exploring different transformations of the voice and instruments according to the varying intensities of the original text: the original short play becomes an extended musical work tracing the text’s most relent-less and most meditative dimensions.

Loré Lixenberg (The Fury)Richard Craig (bass and contrabass flutes)Robin Michael (violoncello)Simon Limbrick (percussion)Carl Faia (electronics)John Croft (conductor)

The performance lasts approximately 50 minutes and may be followed by a dinner for patrons. Booking for the dinner is available through Turner Contemporary.

The evening begins in a veil of mystery with a poem by Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th century mystical Sufi poet, sung in the outer round temple and out of sight by the soprano… and accompanied by a duduk. Then in the centre of the church is the rousing sound of a huge Tibetan horn, calling us to prayer... Here the veil is lifted, and East and West become one and the soprano heroically intones dazzling high Cs. The organ thunders... There is braying of brass, a final majestic "OM" and the Sanskrit "Tat tvam asi" (That I am) ... a meeting of all cultures in one work! Be prepared to levitate!

At the end, in a marvellous coup de théâtre, the choir led us out into the dawn to a joyful chant from the Hindu scriptures. As I emerged, dazed and elated, I felt that I had just witnessed Tavener's masterpiece.

11am – ColeridgeCOMPOSITION WORKSHOPWITH FRANK LYONS

In Association with the University of Ulster

Frank Lyons has developed an international profile as a composer and researcher. He has lectured extensive-ly on contemporary composition and is currently the Head of Music at the University of Ulster. Lyons himself notes, “I am preoccupied with the task of forging an incredibly diverse set of influences into a musical language that is identifiably my own. Jazz, rock, pop, avant-garde, minimalism: elements from all of these to inform my style. I also want my music to convey a sense of fun, a quality that is too often lost in the oh-so-serious world of contemporary music.”FREE EVENT

Born in Norwich in 1977 Matt Wright

works as a composer, improviser and

sound artist at the edges of concert

and club culture, his output stretching

from scores for early music ensembles

and contemporary chamber groups

to digital improvisation, turntablism,

website installations and large events

combing DJs, new music performers

and digital media. Composed espe-

cially for performance at the new Turner

Contemporary gallery in Margate,

‘Wavetable’ lets the sound of the sea

flood into the gallery. It immerses the

listener in an enthralling interactive

installation, created with some of the

UK's most innovative classical, jazz

and improvising musicians, including

saxophone legend Evan Parker.

Mike Hobart, Financial Times on ‘Trance Map’,the new CD from Evan Parker and Matt Wright.

“Evan Parker and Matthew Wright’s intriguing collaboration edits layers of live performance into a shimmering mist of undulating and unbroken sonic textures […] the result enthrals and soothes in equal measure.”

Dangerous, intimate, raw and virtuosic, it promises to be an unforgettable night … as ourhero discovers. Mistress Death comes to call. Your time upon this earth is up. When life is in the balance, what will save you? Love, music or waking from the night-mare? Let the performance of a lifetime begin!

Thursday 26th April, 6.30pm – Sidney Cooper GalleryJANEK SCHAEFER AND HIS LOCAL RADIO ORCHESTRA


Leading sound artist, musician, composer and former student of architecture, Janek Schaefer, delivers his work for radio orchestra, consisting of 12 classic port-able radios spread throughout the Sidney Cooper gal-lery. With a transmitter Trunk full of FM transmitters, Janek’s pirate station hijacks the entire radio spectrum within a short radius. The audience is then invited to walk freely between each or move the radios to a new space, perhaps adjusting the volumes, tuning in and out to make infinite new arrangements.

“120 years ago the Radio was patented by Edison. The transmitter enabled one voice to broadcast to many remote people, and the limited range defined each local community. In the Local Radio Orchestra, this idea is combined with the engagement of the audience, who create a shuffling and shifting orchestra using the 12 classic portable radios, as they move them around and adjust the settings within range of thetransmitter trunk.”

OPEN EARFriday 27th April – Friday 4th May – Sidney Cooper GallerySONIC ART INSTALLATION

We promote music of our time, offering opportunities for people of any age, back-ground or ability to explore music through performance, listening and composition. We invite you to take part.

Our education programme reaches out to schools and community groups offering a variety of ways to get in-volved. We want participants to be able to experiencenew music first hand and up close. Primarily, we work through the medium of sound, but we also find other ways to investigate; dance, poetry, photographyand drama are just some of the genres we embrace. We help to put people in touch with musicians, com-posers and other artists to find out more aboutgreat music by living composers. We also strive to draw out the artist in all of us.All of our learning projects are linked in some way to the Festival Programme and we hope that you and your students or groups will want to participatein the Festival and also the project work.

Have a look at our project plans for the coming year and see if there is something for your students or group.

We are developing the projects right now, but to help us find the right person to talk to, why not contact us first to ensure your group can participate?

A concert at your place.


Peter Cook and M.Mus students will perform new mu-sic to primary and secondary schools and community groups. Audiences will discover new music and new sounds all performed live. Peter will also explain more about Sounds New, its role, and how to really get involved.

Schools are exposed to very little contemporary music and this is a great way to introduce it in the school environment. We will come to you. Concerts are free until funding runs out so do contact me soon to book a concert.

Sounds New Roadshow

Way In Way Out


Primary or Secondary Jazz workshops for schools.

This is a practical session and suitable for any ability. Learn how to improvise with any instrument in an informal and friendly workshop with Peter Cook at your school.

On May 13 we also have Julian Josephcoming to the Festival and he will be leadinga workshop for experienced students.

Primary Schools Composition Workshops

Book an introduction to contemporary music compo-sition exploring the elements of sound and the many ways of organising sounds into music. We will explore how composers have grappled with the tricky idea of marking out an aural form in a visual way so otherscan perform it. Suitable for infant and junior ages.

We want to work with interested people who wish to gain experience by working as a volunteer on one or more of our projects. Interns will need to showthat they are excited about learning and have musical skills to match their enthusiasm. In return we can offer opportunities to work with some of the finestmusicians in the world and ways to build their CVs to help them find work in the future.

Making Your Mark


sound making workshops for Primary and Secondary Schools found sounds, new instruments

An idiopohone is an instrument which vibrates when struck (like a triangle or wood block). This project is about exploring the extraordinary variety of sounds we walk past everyday. We will make instruments from found objects and everyday items, explore the four different ways of producing sound (aerophone, corda-phone, membranophone and idiophone) and make music with them. Participating groups will be invited to a special concert on May 8 in Canterbury when

we can see everything we have made and hear what sounds and compositions people have devised. There will also be a chance to show off the instruments and perform a selection of pieces at the Family and Community Day on May 13. We have a little funding to spend on introductory workshop sessions in schools so please contact Peter Cook if you and your school are interested. We want to hear form you.
