Wigmore Hall Voices of Today: Patricia Alessandrini

Patricia Alessandrini’s intricate sound sculptures encompass a seemingly unlimited range of tonal colours and textures, both acoustic and electronic. The American composer and sound artist, whose teachers include Tristan Murail and Thea Musgrave, received praise from Gramophone for ‘her formidably disciplined manipulation of febrile emotions’. Her captivating art, including a major new composition, is complemented by the restless energy of Beat Furrer’s Aria from 1998-9.
