George Crumb Black Angels: 13 Images from the Dark Land
Sungji Hong Concerto for alto flute and chamber ensemble (world premiere)

From shouting to whispering, from gongs to maracas and even crystal glasses, American composer George Crumb’s Black Angels offers up a feast of sounds. Recently revealed to have been one of David Bowie’s all-time favourite records, this seminal work of the 20th century is paired alongside the world premiere of South Korean composer Sungji Hong’s concerto written for and performed by RCM alumna Carla Rees.
