Psappha: Penelope

Three striking works from brilliant US-based composers

Part of the Psappha 2017-18 Season

Add to my Calendar 26-10-2017 19:30 26-10-2017 21:30 36 Psappha: Penelope Suspended somewhere between art song, indie rock, and chamber folk, the music of Penelope moves from moments of elegiac reflection to dusky post-rock textures in a meditation on memory, identity, and what it means to come home. Joyce’s Rave gives the impression of impossible virtuosity, transforming the piano into a multi-dimensional piano/organ hybrid, while Clyne’s Steelworks gives a fascinating glimpse into a disappearing world, as the music interacts with film and recorded interviews of employees at the last steelworks factory in Brooklyn. Hallé St Peter's, Manchester DD/MM/YYYY
