LSO, St Luke’s London
THE London Symphony Orchestra’s Soundhub Associates showcase is an artist-led mentoring scheme for four rising composers. Designed to present an exciting array of fresh and new works by British-based composers in a curated evening of music, developed in collaboration with LSO musicians.
The 2023 event held at LSO St Luke’s represented composition with a conceptual focus exploring notions of human volatility, fragility and a sense of time stretched around events, ranging from themes around war to human emotion. Each composer was given a 30-minute slot with a line-up broadly based around two violins, cello, three percussion set ups, tenor clarinet, harp and electronics, all under the baton of Darren Bloom.
First up on the bill was Tonia Ko with a work called Held.
