DISCOVER
Remarkable music deserves to be heard.
We explore composers, recordings and repertoire that might otherwise remain undiscovered.
FROM THE LIBRARY
Wood and Wind
Edward Cowie’s Wood and Wind exists in versions with piano and harp. Neither has yet been performed or recorded. We are exploring the piano version — remarkable music still waiting for its first hearing.
COMPOSER TO WATCH
Emily Doolittle
Emily Doolittle’s music rewards curiosity: attentive to the natural world, inventive in its use of instruments and full of unexpected connections. We have been particularly drawn to Four Pieces About Water and are exploring more of her chamber music.
RECENTLY HEARD
SAUDADE
Žibuoklė Martinaitytė
— a luminous, absorbing discovery that sent us immediately looking further into her chamber music.
FRACTURED GLANCES
Ramin Amin Tafreshi
— a compelling work for solo bassoon, combining an immediately distinctive voice with an imaginative exploration of the instrument.
WHAT SURVIVES
Niloufar Nourbakhsh
— arresting, uncompromising music whose use of colour and extended technique made us want to get closer to the score.
