Following their sensational debut at the 2016 Festival as part of hcmf// shorts, Artistic Director Graham McKenzie immediately extended an invitation to this young and exciting ensemble to return to Huddersfield in 2017, committing to support the commissioning of a new composition specifically for the group. The resulting work is Patricia Alessandrini’s Tracer la lune d'un doigt, for sextet and live electronics, presented here alongside a UK premiere from Steven Daverson, an early virtuosic chamber work by Enno Poppe, and Fausto Romitelli’s iconic and sculptural La sabbia del tempo.
