Four days, six composers, two countries: Soundings brings together composers from Austria and the UK. This year Seán Clancy, Christian Mason, and Kate Whitley from the UK, and Mirela Ivičević, Hannes Kerschbaumer, and Daniel Moser from Austria will get together for workshops, open rehearsals, and performances with some of the UK’s most renowned performers. Hear their pieces performed in two unique concerts. Compare and contrast new music from two vastly different countries. Find out more about six outstanding composers.

Soundings is curated by Mary Dullea. Composer Piers Hellawell will explore the composers' works in dedicated composer presentations. Piers will also introduce the concerts.

Featuring Sarah Dacey (soprano), Mary Dullea (piano), Ralf Ehlers (viola), Rebecca Hardwick (soprano), Darragh Morgan (violin and conductor), Christopher Redgate (oboe), Rowland Sutherland (flute), Max Welford (clarinet), and performers from the Royal College of Music.

Presented by the Austrian Cultural Forum London in collaboration with the Royal College of Music.
