This week sees the World Premiere of Nicole Lizée’s percussion concerto with the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa conducted by Alexander Shelley. This work is co-commissioned by the BBC and will receive its European Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on July 29th.
This remarkable new work features many extended techniques for the soloist and as well as playing on regular percussion instruments, Colin will also be playing an analog synthesiser, two electro-acoustic guitars, and a cello. And a roll of gaffer tape…
Nicole is one of the brightest and most original voices in new music and is fresh from the vastly successful premiere of her science-fiction opera ‘RUR A Torrent of Light’ in Toronto.
