The complete works of Edgard Varèse in one weekend. Described by Henry Miller as 'the stratospheric colossus of sound', Edgard Varèse (1883-1965) was writing music 50 years ahead of his time. Often described as the father of electronic music, Varèse completed just under three hours of music in his lifetime.This project presents the complete works of Varèse in three concerts. Staged by Cathie Boyd. Varèse 360 is a Holland Festival production, co-produced with the Festival d’Automne à Paris, Radio France, Salle Pleyel, Southbank Centre and Ensemble Asko/Schoenberg. The London performances are presented by Southbank Centre, the London Sinfonietta and the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.
