Barbican Contemporary Music

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang introduces his new piece Death Speaks, and talks about the intimacy and confessional character that – like in Schubert’s music – can be found at indie gigs. Plus we hear from the voice of Death from Lang’s piece – singer and composer Shara Worden – and two groundbreaking American ensembles, Calder Quartet and So Percussion. Cameo appearances from Philip Glass and Steve Reich. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
