Performance on 3 - BBC CO/Hazlewood

Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given in the Queen Elizabeth hall in which BBC Concert Orchestra and Charles Hazlewood explore issues of chance in music. The programme includes a new piece by 12 composers who have had an association with the BBC Concert Orchestra, where each composer writes one minute of music. The order of composers is determined by the roll of a die and each composer sees the last 12 bars of the previous composer's section and then continues the piece at their will. Also featuring: Mozart: A Musical Dice Game Schnittke: Moz-Art a la Haydn Matthews: To Compose Without the Least Knowledge of Music Ives: The Unanswered Question Stravinsky: Jeu de cartes Followed by music by past winners of the RPS awards, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2009.
