As an extension of the Aldeburgh English Song project, one of the most innovative and eclectic British musical figures of the last 40 years, Michael Finnissy, joins James Weeks and EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble as guest composer and tutor, leading an intensive, week-long vocal composition course for young composers. The week culminates in this open session which will showcase new works written during the course alongside a rare performance of Finnissy’s own piece Kelir.

There will also be re-runs of two pieces composed at IRCAM in Paris in 2013 :

– M I À O by Fernando Munizaga and

– Le Langage Des Oiseaux by Blaise Ubaldini.
