Written shortly before the composer's death, Morton Feldman's expansive For Samuel Beckett is a meditatively shifting work, in which tiny differences between endless rhythmic and harmonic permutations suspend space and time.
A giant of American modern classical, Feldman's experiments with scale and entropy led him to an obsession with quietly powerful music: this evocative piece seems to appear from nowhere and float on elsewhere after is end.
The Royal Academy of Music's talented Manson Ensemble will join our players side-by-side on stage to perform this mysterious and beautiful work.
Immerse yourself in all things Samuel Beckett and Morton Feldman, with a pre-concert discussion from 6.15pm - 7pm with conductor & co-director Jack Sheen, co-director Rowland Hill and author Tim Rutherford-Johnson, before taking your seat in the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
