Project: Bozzini+

https://research.hud.ac.uk/institutes... https://www.nmcrec.co.uk/huddersfield... Bozzini + brings together Montréal’s celebrated Quatour Bozzini with Scottish fiddler, now based in Norway, Sarah-Jane Summers and University of Huddersfield’s Professor of Performance, pianist Philip Thomas. The Quartet have had a long and fruitful relationship with Huddersfield, as regular performers at the internationally-renowned Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, as well as, in recent years, performing with Philip Thomas in concerts in Canada in Italy. This project develops that partnership by featuring new works by three composers based at the University of Huddersfield: Monty Adkins, Mary Bellamy and Bryn Harrison. Each of these composers have benefited from extensive workshops and rehearsals with the performers and their music is the product of a rich and fruitful exchange. Between Autumn 2016 and Summer 2018, the new works will be presented in concerts in the UK, Europe and North America. Concerts may consist of individual works or any combination of works, including all three, including works by other composers.
