New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang will be performing Martin Iddon’s pneuma.kharis on their first UK tour which takes in University of Huddersfield (2 Nov), University of Leeds (4 Nov), Centrala Gallery, Birmingham (6 Nov) and City University of London (7 Nov)
Comprising trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet, and baritone voice, Loadbang have been building a new kind of music repertoire since their founding in 2008. Praised as ‘cultivated’ by The New Yorker, ‘an extra-cool new music group’ and ‘exhilarating’ by the Baltimore Sun and called a ‘formidable new-music force’ by TimeOutNY, their unique lung-powered instrumentation has provoked diverse responses from composers, resulting in a repertoire comprising an facinating picture of composition today. The tour also includes music by Taylor Brook, Aaron Einbond, Martin Iddon, Paula Matthusen, Heather Stebbins and Scott Wollschleger.
