The Royal Northern College of Music welcomes the most distinguished Austrian composer of his generation, Friedrich Cerha, for the most substantial festival of his music ever held in Britain.Well into his ninth decade, Cerha has first hand links with the Second Viennese school of Berg, Schoenberg and Webern. Yet it is his unique voice that makes the transition between that language and the generation immediately after him, of which H K Gruber (Composer/Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic) is one of the most prominent members. In bringing Friedrich
Cerha to Manchester we all brush with history.
