Intersections Concert

Description

The Intersections concert is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers from the University of St Andrews and composers both from the Music Centre and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where original, new works – inspired by the various selected research topics – for clarinet, soprano, horn, trombone, percussion, piano and violin inspired are premiered.
My thesis research on the phenomenon of Late Style was selected by the organisers of the collaboration, and Jake Davey, a composer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland worked with me to convert my research into an original musical composition. The resulting work was a Prelude and Fugue inspired by the traditions and patterns of lateness that my research explores in literature, as well as the interdisciplinary theories of Theodor Adorno – an early proponent of the concept of Lateness – and his work on the late works of Beethoven.
The Intersections Concert premiere began with an introduction by myself and Davey on the research itself and the compositional principles behind the work, and then a performance of our Prelude & Fugato in A Minor for Bass Clarinet in Bb and Violin.
