‘Social virtuosity’, a term coined by legendary vocalist and founder of FIG (Feminist Improvising Group) Maggie Nicols to denote the capacity for effective interpersonal interaction through music making, is what we are focusing on for the three concerts of this 5th here.here season at IKLECTIK.

Our guest for this first concert is composer, pianist and organist Eva-Maria Houben (DE) the author of Musical Practice as a Form of Life: How Making Music Can be Meaningful and Real (Music and Sound Culture, 2019) in which she dwells on a practice of music which is relational and social. We have chosen three new works of hers that have all been written for and addressed to two of her UK based friends – Artur Vidal and Dominic Lash – and their friends. Three works that leave ample scope for personal interpretation and mutual agency between players, listeners, and the work.

With Lara Agar (violin), Angharad Davies (violin), Isidora Edwards (cello), Finn Froome-Lewis (cello), Eva Maria Houben (piano), Dominic Lash (double bass), Hannah Marshall (cello), Artur Vidal (saxophone)
