MOMENTUM
'ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED... ONLY TRANSFORMED' ~ Sir Isaac Newton
Valette Ensemble presents two iconic works by John Adams and Richard Strauss. Two journeys, two reflections of life in motion - both responding to change.
Birthed from the musical discovery of tape loops - Adams’ Shaker Loops presents a bright-eyed, modern work embracing technological change. Strauss’ Metamorphosen mourns the destruction of culture and loss to humanity in the wake of war.
Rowan Lark’s poems will reflect on these two sound worlds through spoken word looking deeper into themes of the environment and our own response to change in the present day.
