840 is a London-based concert series, curated by the composers Alex Nikiporenko and James Luff to provide a platform for new experimental and minimal music. Each concert focuses on a particular chamber instrumentation, showcasing works by living composers. For the concert on 7 July 2018 at the St James' Church, Islington, the focus is on duos for viola and cello, a surprisingly intimate and intriguing combination of instruments. The performers are Jennifer Ames Alexander and Colin Alexander.
The concert will feature new works from Colin Alexander, James Luff, Alex Nikiporenko and Garrett Sholdice, alongside music by Eva-Maria Houben, Marc Sabat, and Amanda Feery.
Full details from the 840 website.
