Riot Ensemble: Coral Formations

Aaron Holloway-Nahum conductor

Alex Paxton Shrimp BIT Babyface (UK premiere)
Kristine Tjøgersen Seafloor Dawn Chorus (UK premiere)

Riot Ensemble is an internationally renowned group of musicians dedicated to the creation, exploration and presentation of great contemporary works and new music. In this show, Alex Paxton’s Shrimp BIT Babyface piles layer upon layer of colour and ornamentation, like encrusted coral formations, into a contrasting, surrealist excess of joy. Following this, descend to the Great Barrier Reef with Kristine Tjøgersen’s Seafloor Dawn Chorus.

Duration 45 minutes.

This concert is included in the Manchester Classical festival pass. For more information regarding day/weekend passes and the festival as a whole, please visit the Manchester Classical website.
