The German-born, British-raised composer performs a collection of works that explore the idea of the orchestra as a medium for ambient music, rather than electronic instruments. He has selected pieces that create space to reflect on ideas and feelings. It’s this intersection between the music and the listeners’ biographies that interests Richter – the way a musical performance becomes conversational.
The repertoire features six pieces of live music, three being UK premieres – Exiles, Opus 2020, and Testament. Max Richter will be joined by a specially expanded line-up of 12 Ensemble – who’ve previously performed with him at 2018’s Sounds and Visions weekend, alongside Soprano Grace Davidson.
