Matthew Barley plays John Metcalfe 13-15 May
Here's a timely reminder that on 13-15 May, John Metcalfe moves into Kings Place in London again for a unique series of collaborations with cellist Matthew Barley. Please note that the Duke Quartet will not be playing on the Saturday 15 May as previously announced.
Tickets for all nights are still available from Kings Place priced £15.50-29.50. Limited quantities of Saver Seats for each night are also available priced £9.50.
John Metcalfe Band & Matthew Barley Thu 13 May @ 7.30pm
The John Metcalfe Band plays tracks from cult albums Scorching Bay and A Darker Sunset, and previews material from a new album due for release later in the year. As ever the band features the wide-ranging exceptional talents of performers from differing musical backgrounds and for this concert will be inviting special guest musicians including cellist Matthew Barley to make a truly memorable evening.
Constant Filter - Fri 14 May @ 7.30pm
Matthew Barley launches his new CD of John Metcalfe compositions - many of them premiered this night. Prepare to be amazed at what the electric cello can do, retaining the soulful beauty of the classical cello but with kaleidoscopic extra dimensions of colour and voice created by cutting-edge music technology. Includes premieres for acoustic cello and piano with the rising star Ashley Wass, as well as new transcriptions of Schumann songs.
Carducci Quartet & Matthew Barley - Sat 15 May @ 7.30pm
This is a totally unique concert-going experience! In the first half the much-awarded Carducci Quartet will play movement of Schubert, Haydn and Sachiado, and in between Matthew will improvise responses on his electric cello, creating other worldly contrasts and surprises. During these improvisations, John Metcalfe will be noting compositional ideas on a computer that Matthew will see via a monitor, which will also be visible to the audience. This means that there will be a ‘creative transmission' in realtime from composer to performer to audience that will be entirely transparent - the audience will be able to see and hear exactly how that process works, thanks to the advanced technology being used. And thanks to The Bays for this exciting idea that we have stolen!
Subtle and improvised lighting from the Kings Place lighting crew will enhance the effect of a magical musical journey.
In the second half, Matthew and the quartet join forces for a collection of premieres of imaginative and sumptuous re-workings of Metcalfe by young composer Misha Mullov-Abbado.
Tickets for all nights are still available from Kings Place priced £15.50-29.50. Limited quantities of Saver Seats for each night are also available priced £9.50.
