Overview
Psappha are delighted to be back at New Music North West, the region’s leading contemporary music festival, to perform the world premieres of four new pieces written especially for them by four postgraduate composition students at the RNCM – each one inspired by a winning poem in MMU’s Mother Tongue Other Tongue poetry competition. They’ll be working closely with the composers as they create, refine and complete their pieces, which will be introduced by BBC Radio 3’s Elizabeth Alker and the composers at a concert that will also feature performances by the four winning poets.
