Richard Alston-Triple Bill

Información

Richard Alstons newest creation comes to Sadlers Wells as part of a triple bill. Chacony is inspired by the richness and nobility of Henry Purcells slow and weighty Baroque Chaconne, and Brittens tribute to it. This extraordinary music will be played by an onstage string quartet. Martin Lawrences Tangent intertwines four couples as they attack the tango, accompanied by Piazzolla Estaciones Porteos, played live by Jason Ridgway on piano. Alstons hugely popular Gypsy Mixture, revived for the first time in a decade, brings with it a 21st century take on traditional Balkan folk music.
