Join the BBC SSO and Principal Guest Conductor and Tectonics Festival founder, Ilan Volkov, for a journey through twentieth century American music and beyond. Lucia Dlugoszewski was a Polish-American composer whose work 'Abyss and Caress', commissioned by the New York Philharmonic in 1975, showcases both her typical use of a timbre (or ‘prepared’) piano as well as innovative bowing for strings. The composer-improviser-trumpeter Peter Evans is our soloist.

Eleanor Hovda was renowned for her beautifully crafted, sparse imaginative soundworlds (represented here by 'Fields 87') while Talib Rasul Hakim (born Stephen Alexander Chambers) was taught by Morton Feldman and Ornette Coleman and influenced by Sufism and Eastern religions.

And we move into this century with the swelling hope of Courtney Bryan’s 'White Gleam of Our Bright Star', a meditation on America’s potential and ‘themes of sister/brotherhood, freedom, and equality’.
