This late-night mixed platter of English and American Experimental traditions opens with John Cage’s metallic First Construction – whose eight anvils and four car brake-drums resonate with Mosolov’s The Foundry earlier this evening.
Cornelius Cardew’s Bun No. 1 recalls a composer known as much for his political as for his musical activism. Howard Skempton, a co-founder with Cardew of the experimental Scratch Orchestra, and Morton Feldman, whose music Cardew championed in Europe, complete the line-up.

* Howard Skempton Lento (13 mins)
* Feldman Piano and Orchestra
