Cardew Season

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:03:47 +0000

Hugh Shrapnel reminds us that the Cardew 75th anniversary concert is coming up this weekend. For info, see the previous blog entry.

We hear good things of the recent Morley College Cardew conference. Once we know more, we’ll file a report.

There’s a review in the Guardian of John Tilbury’s performance on 28 November. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/nov/28/celebration-cornelius-cardew-amm-review .

Conway Hall in December - Cardew!

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 09:19:25 +0100

Michael Chant tells us that there’s a concert at the Conway Hall, London, celebrating the life and works of Cornelius Cardew. We’ve been to these concerts in the past. This one has a number of the best of Cardew’s later pieces, so it should be a good concert and the atmosphere at these concerts is always good.

Michael has also reminded us about the Morley college festival on Cardew. For more info, see: http://www.theengineroom2011.com/The_Engine_Room/Home.html .
