Sadie Harrison has been commissioned to write a new chamber work as part of a collaborative project between New Music South West and the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol. The work will be part of a programme inspired by the RAW’s exhibition, STRANGE WORLDS: The Vision of Angela Carter.
New Music South West Commission for Sadie Harrison
13 December 2016‘Strange Worlds is a major exhibition that celebrates the life, work and influences of author and journalist Angela Carter, twenty five years after her death. In bringing together art and literature, this exhibition explores the enormous impact that Carter made as one of the most distinctive literary voices of the last 100 years’ (Fiona Robinson RWA).
Sadie’s piece takes the unsettling ‘fairytale’ world of Heather Nevay’s The Murder (2016) as its starting point. The work will be premiered by Harriet Riley (marimba), Andy Keenan (clarinets) and Richard Phillips (cello) in the RAW Gallery on 22 January 2017.
