The contemporary music collective Wolf Back is back. They are performing two programmes at Vault Festival from 11 to 15 February 2014. TEXT and BODY are two conceptual concerts. TEXT looks at text in music, text-setting, text-based, texts that inspired songs, text consisting solely of music, text as music. BODY: considers how do you feel about your body? Do you feel your body? How big a diaphragm do you need to play the bassoon? What's the ugliest part of your body?
TEXT includes The Waves, a rarely performed work by Frederic Rzewski (the American composer and pianist) plus music by Jess Harvey and Tom Green, and the work premiere of The Sick Rose by Dave Collins. BODY presents Lauren Redhead's personality is a series of successful gestures for body percussion, music by Edmund Jolliffe and Steve Reich.
The concerts take place at the Vaults, Leake Street, London, SE1 8SW as part of Vault Festival. The festival is returning for its second incarnation in the labyrinth of tunnels underneath Waterloo, offering six frenetic weeks of live entertainment between January 28th and March 8th 2014, Tuesdays through to Saturdays.
