A tapestry of contrast. A whole spectrum of colour. In her Ensemble 10:10 debut, Chloe Rooke pairs John Adams’ ecstatic masterpiece with Anna Clyne’s fragile, yet hauntingly powerful, lament. We see the energy of musical trailblazer Julia Perry captured in gritty, pulsating lyricism, before Mathilde Wantenaar’s creation, serene and enchanting, restores calm – for now. But the night is young, so Aaron Breeze – Highly Commended in the 2024 Rushworth Composition Prize – conjures up a snapshot of a night at a famous club.
