Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival on BBC Radio 3's New Music Show

The Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival has been running from 18 to 22 November 2021 across venues in Huddersfield. For those that have not managed to get to Huddersfield this year, the festival is continuing its long-standing partnership with BBC Radio 3 and its New Music Show. 

Radio 3's weekly programme devoted to contemporary and experimental music, New Music Show, recorded nine concerts from the festival and there are two New Music Shows devoted to highlights from the festival, to be broadcast on Saturday, November 27 and Saturday, December 4 at 10pm. These will mix performances with interviews with composers and performers.

These two programmes will feature music by Chaya Czernowin, James Dillon, Jenny Hettne, Tonia Ko, Zubin Kanga, Lisa Illean, and Michael Pelzel, performed by Riot Ensemble, Red Note Ensemble, London Sinfonietta, Arditti Quartet and Ensemble Musikfabrik.

And over the coming months New Music Show will broadcast more from the festival with works by Mauro Lanza, Enno Poppe, Bára Gisladóttir, Aileen Sweeney, Lawrence Osborn and Roberto Gerhard.
