Lunchtime concert: INCANTATION Kate Ryder: piano/amplified piano

Kate Ryder’s recital weaves themes of celebration and of memory, with evocations of birdsong in Messiaen, of distant and sacred bells in Diana Burrell’s Pentecost and ghostly echoes in Crumb’s A Little Midnight Music – his homage to Jazz pianist Thelonius Monk. Included are two further dedications, Takemitsu’s Rain Tree Sketch II (in memoriam Messiaen) and Fujikura’s Akiko’s Diary, to the memory of a young girl.
