Part of the BBC Proms. This late-night mixed platter of English and American Experimental traditions opens with John Cage's metallic First Construction - whose eight anvils and four car brake-drums resonate with Mosolov's The Foundry earlier this evening. Cornelius Cardew's Bun No. 1 recalls a composer known as much for his political as for his musical activism. Howard Skempton, a co-founder with Cardew of the experimental Scratch Orchestra, and Morton Feldman, whose music Cardew championed in Europe, complete the line-up. Finish time: approx. 23:20| 20 Aug 10 | Royal Albert Hall Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
