Arvo Pärt – who turns 90 this year – reflects on powerful words, Anna Thorvaldsdottir plays with ideas of dispersion, and marking Luciano Berio’s 100th anniversary, we celebrate love – the eternal inspiration – with a beautiful piece dedicated to the memory of his wife. Cameron Biles-Liddell’s new work completes this showcase of musical imagination, bringing rich harmonies and vivid, shimmering textures.
