The London Sinfonietta presents a portrait of Olga Neuwirth, the Austrian composer who came to prominence in the UK with her operatic adaptation of David Lynch’s Lost Highway produced by the ENO and the Young Vic. The event includes Hommage à Klaus Nomi, a cabaret-style tribute to the eponymous Berlin tenor and theatrical visionary. Expect “jazzy cover versions of well-known arias and songs, wedging the great lament from Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas against standards by Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland.” (Tim Ashley, The Guardian). The concert also features …miramondo multiplo… for solo trumpet, “a skilfully joined, shimmering realm of random memory tableaux, where you meet, for example, Miles Davis, Berg, Mahler, Messiaen and even Handel.” (Stefan Musil, Die Presse).
