About This Event

The intricate patterns of Turkish rugs – conjured from the memory of the women who wove them – inspired the mesmerising meditation that is centenary composer Morton Feldman’s Crippled Symmetry. Scored for flutes, percussion, piano and the glassy-toned celesta, this is music that seems to float, at once absolutely controlled and left freely to chance – its hypnotic patterns forming and reforming like a mobile, suspended in the air. The Royal Northern Sinfonia’s Music Director Dinis Sousa is joined by principal musicians Helena Gourd and Jude Carlton.
