The 20th London New Wind Festival

The London New Wind Festival presents a varied programme of new music with focus on wind symphony orchestras, brass ensembles, new music by women composers and improvisation.

We are presenting an exciting concert of new pieces especially written for double wind quintet (ten wind players) as well as piano and electronics.

As is our trademark - a huge variety of styles ranging from the edgy "Rape of the Moone" by Elisabeth Lutyens for eight wind instruments, and the mobile "Shadow Play" for flute and clarinet by George Nicholson, to the atmospheric " Windchanges" for 10 wind instruments by Michael Christie and the dynamic "Metropolis" for all eleven players and electronics by Catherine Pluygers.

This is a concert in our usual style that is varied and memorable.
