CITY UNIVERSITY, LONDON

Vonnegut Collective  are very excited to bring to you Thomas Adès Piano Quintet (2001) and world premier of Tullis Rennie’s 48 Hours. 

Thomas Adès’ Piano Quintet is notorious for taking 48 hours to rehearse and perfect, due to its complexity and nuance. This aspect of the piece was inspiration to create a new commission, 48 Hours (for Piano Quintet, Trumpet and Recorded Sound), from the Collective by Tullis Rennie. This newly commissioned piece will be a direct creative response to the act of working on the Adès piece, also focus on the performers doing so.

Keep an eye out here for more details to make sure you don’t miss it!
