Tomorrow night marks the final performance of our tour. 💫
Join Crash featuring Tinahely Women’s Choir for Ed Bennett’s Everything Is Connected, at Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely, on Friday 23 October at 8pm.
Commissioned by Crash, Everything Is Connected has unfolded as an open, collaborative musical space where professional performers and community participants make music together, celebrating connection between musicians, communities, performers and audiences.
“My idea in creating this work was to explore the concept of connection in the broadest sense: musical connection, human connection, connection to nature and the planet we inhabit,” says composer @ted_bennett1979, “The idea of connection here is both a grand and everyday one, ranging from a simple, kind gesture from one human to another, the passing of a note from one musician to another or from the performers to the audience, to the awe-inspiring connection to the greater world around us.”
A @mermaidartscentre & @courthouseartscentre Creative Partnership.

WE ARE ON THE ROAD! 🧳🎤 JOURNEYERS: Michaela Riener (zang, toetsen) & Eva Tebbe (harp, vocals)
.. met het programma THEY TOO ARE ON THE ROAD.. op 8 november in de Sint Joriskerk in Bredevoort:
Naast meeslepende hedendaagse muziek van Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Ed Bennett en Kate Moore klinkt ook bijzonder repertoire van de ‘trobairitz’; 12e en 13e eeuwse vrouwelijke troubadours. Vanuit een vrouwelijk perspectief componeerden zij, schreven liedteksten en voerden hun eigen werk uit. Journeyers onderzoekt de verschillende manieren waarop zij om kunnen gaan met dit schaars overleverde materiaal; op zoek naar de meest authentieke uitvoering, het aanpassen naar het hier en nu van tekst, improvisatie en nieuwe arrangementen.
Een meanderend, groovy en theatraal concertprogramma over het loslaten van zekerheden en maatschappelijke eisen, over het ervaren van grootse schoonheid in gewone, kleine dingen.
✨Anoniem (rond 1150)
Trobairitz Song
✨Anna Thorvaldsdottir (1977)
For it will never return, for mezzo-soprano and harp - to the accompaniment of
everyday life (4 min)
✨Comtessa de Diá (rond 1175)
A chantar m’er de so qu’eu no volria (stem en troubadour harp, harmonium)
✨Ed Bennett (1975)

✨Azalais de Porcairagues (rond 1140)
Now we have winter - Ar em al freg temps vengut

Thx to everyone who came to CHEWY, CRUNCHY: Finnissy x Aries at @cafeotodalston - “dark - weird - focussed - challenging - unexpected” according to Michael and generally bonkers like all Atonal Kat nights. We are knackered.

TONIGHT: ATONAL KAT PRESENTS: CHEWY, CRUNCHY – MICHAEL FINNISSY / ANNIE ARIES
Atonal Kat returns to Cafe OTO tonight for a particularly dense edition of its sporadic sonic soirées, curated by Xenia Pestova Bennett and Ed Bennett. The series is built around exploratory music and intense listening, and this edition places the generative, improvised electronics of Annie Aries alongside a programme celebrating Michael Finnissy in his 80th year.
Bern-based Swiss-Philippine composer, sound artist and performer Annie Aries works with a customised modular synth, spatial sound and embodied performance. Her live sets explore the point where generative systems stop behaving predictably and improvisation takes over, with contemporary electronics and club music entering a practice also shaped by installation and experimental sound environments.
The second half turns to Michael Finnissy, with Mary Dullea, Rob Hao, Darragh Morgan and Xenia Pestova Bennett performing music from across his work. Born in Brixton in 1946, Finnissy began composing at four and later studied at the Royal College of Music. While there, he privately imagined his future music as a kind of “cabinet of curiosities”: an individual account of world music capable of holding together periods, genres and references with both affection and irony.
That breadth extends well beyond music. His aesthetics have been shaped by underground and avant-garde cinema, from Brakhage, Jack Smith and Warhol to Pasolini, Jarman and Godard, as well as Hokusai, Cézanne, Hockney, Rauschenberg, Satie and Ives.
Tonight’s programme includes Ninth Political Agenda, Mississippi Hornpipes, Molly House and the UK premiere of Fortsetzung von Schuberts Sonaten-Fragment D769A, plus further works.
🎟 £12 adv / £7 members
→ Tickets via Stories and cafeoto.co.uk
→ Doors 7:30pm

This is how messy and scrawly my scores look as I scratch out markings with my fingers - and sweat in my garden shed studio. Despite the apparent chaos, I am REALLY EXCITED (AND SCARED) to give the UK premiere of Michael Finnissy’s incredible lyrical “Fortsetzung von Schuberts Sonaten-Fragment D769A” this Tuesday at @cafeotodalston - we will be joined by the wonderful @robhao, @darragh_morgan_violin , Mary Dullea and @ted_bennett1979 who studied with Michael and co-curates the Atonal Kat night with me.
And of course, this will be the Oto debut of the awesome @annieruefenacht - a force of nature with the modular synth, who will do the opening set.
