Liam Byrne spends most of his time playing either very old or very new music on the viol. An obsession with the instrument’s most obscure 16th and 17th-century repertoire is a recurring theme in his work, whether in devising baroque performance installations for the Victoria & Albert Museum. This event features six new pieces composed for Liam.

Historical Performance: Bang Zi for solo recorder
Bangzi was named after a small wooden percussion (similar to woodblock) that was used in many traditional Chinese opera sets; especially Qing Opera, also known as Bangzi Opera. For this piece, I am trying to create an array of characters within one solo recorder player- such as opera singer, player, percussionist. My concept is to blend the recorder’s features with some traditional Chinese elements. More information: Keting talking about her new recorder piece
