In this exciting new strand of our Lockdown Live series, London Sinfonietta players dive in to the nuances of contemporary performance on their instruments, and explore how they're used in a contemporary setting. See the techniques and styles used in new music composition, with examples from a selection of the most renowned works of contemporary writing.
In this live video, London Sinfonietta principal clarinettist Mark van de Wiel explores contemporary writing for clarinet, with a focus on the clarinet solo from Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.
