A weekend of concerts, talks, films: 19-21 February 2010. The international summer school for new music in Darmstadt, Germany began in 1946 as one of many attempts to regenerate the city following World War II. Composers such as Messiaen, Varese, Berio, Boulez, Cage, Stockhausen and Xenakis taught on the courses and their impact on the new music scene has been profound.
The concerts, curated by Roger Redgate, present many of the major figures associated with the courses through their chamber music. On Saturday 20 February Mark Knoop and Christopher Redgate present two joint concerts in the series.
For further information about the weekend, and to book tickets, see the Kettle’s Yard (external link) website.
