In this three-hour workshop NeoQuartet works with six Master's composers from the Faculty of Music on pieces for string quartet and string quartet & live electronics.

The JdP's third January New Music Weekend welcomes back the NeoQuartet of Gdansk for two concerts of Polish and German music that ranges greatly from environmental multimedia work to ambient trance music. Another festival theme is contemporary music for gamelan given by the British crack gamelan ensemble, Hammer & Bronze. The remainder of the festival consists of work by emerging Oxford composers - Screaming Mouth, Sonova, Red Lipstick and Holly Gowland.

Presented by the Faculty of Music and JdP Music Building in association with The Cultural Programme, University of Oxford, where the NeoQuartet are part of the Hans Keller String Quartet Programme. Made possible thanks to The Cosman Keller Art & Music Trust.
