Ensemble 10:10

Jörg Widmann’s love of Schumann impelled him to reflect, reconsider and then weave his own instrumental tapestry in and around Schumann’s great song cycle Dichterliebe, sung tonight by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s Artist in Residence, Benjamin Appl. Geoffrey Paterson returns to Ensemble 10:10 to guide us through this and the contrasting musical landscapes of Alexander Goehr and Pierre Boulez(to honour his 100th anniversary), and introduce new music from Liverpool-born former Rushworth Composition Prize winner, Nneka Cummins.
