Oliver Leith — Garland (World Premiere)
Bold Tendencies, SE15 4TG , [Venue Details]Our season ends with the world premiere of Garland, a large-scale new work for orchestra and chorus of 118 performers by Oliver Leith, visionary British composer of the new generation.
Garland is a spectacular procession of sound, music and singing. Leith’s most ambitious work to date is performed by the amassed forces of 12 Ensemble, GBSR Duo, EXAUDI, soprano Patricia Auchterlonie and a mixed amateur chorus; conducted by Naomi Woo and Jack Sheen with choral refrains written by Charlie Fox.
The choir is augmented by a horse, bicycles, car and other pedestrian detritus ‘played’ to create noise and rhythm. 32 string and 16 brass players unite with a large battery of percussion and sampler keyboards to form an atypical orchestra, enveloping the audience in sound as the performers circulate our Concrete Concert Hall.
Garland continues the relationship between Leith and Bold Tendencies, begun in 2023 with a presentation of his work good day good day bad day bad day (2018); continuing in 2024 with a programme of his three large-scale works for orchestra: Honey Siren (2019), Cartoon Sun (2023) and Pearly, goldy, woody, bloody, or, Abundance (2022).
