Supported by PRS’s Women Make Music fund & Hinrichsen Foundation. Heather Roche will perform a live realisation of Sapindales by York-based composer Martin Iddon, a mesmeric half-hour piece for multi-track clarinets and field recordings made in woods in the Yorkshire countryside. Simon Limbrick will perform the world premiere of Clouds for solo vibraphone by the Canadian composer Linda Catlin Smith, who has emerged as a leading figure in contemporary music in recent years.
