Shapes: New Music for Percussion

Following the blistering success of the 2020 edition, the RBC Percussion and Composition Departments join forces once again in a concert of new music for solo and ensemble percussion.

This year compositions include Maarten Benschop’s in which the rhythms of speech are retroactively turned into a drum solo for five players and set to video, Fiona Troon’s inspired by the sounds of protest, and nine other new works written for a huge array of percussion, electronics and screen.
