Fresh from your Easter holidays, enjoy this concert of American sounds.

Nicholas Collon  conductor
Thomas Gould  violin

At the beginning of what is sure to be your most stressful semester yet, enjoy the calm before the storm and join us for Camerata’s penultimate sonic card concert for a mere £3.

New York based composer Nico Muhly is as likely to be seen collaborating with the likes of Bjork, Grizzly Bear, Antony and the Johnsons and Sigur Ros as he is with the New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony. Written especially for violinist Thomas Gould, his Concerto for 6-string Electric Violin, in his own words, ‘references the exciting and superstitious practice of observing and mapping the sky’.
This dynamic programme is completed by Stravinsky’s tongue-in-cheek chamber concerto Dumbarton Oaks, and music by two thoroughly American voices, John Adams and Aaron Copland.

Conductor Nicholas Collon says:
“The sweep of Copland's landscapes, the pulsing vibrancy of John Adams, and the rhythmic vitality of 'Dumbarton Oaks' make for a challenging but exciting platform upon which to explore the sound-world of a top-class chamber orchestra.”
