It’s a real case of back to their roots this Friday for the members of the Crash Ensemble. They’re celebrating the work of Dutch composer Louis Andriessen a day before his 70th birthday. Andriessen, the leading light of European minimalism, was the subject of Crash’s first- ever concert back in 1997.
And they're pairing Andriessen's work with pieces by David Lang, one of the founders of New York's Bang on a Can All-Stars, the group on which the Crash Ensemble itself is modelled. Friday's programme includes Lang's Cheating Lying Stealing, Pierced, and Memory Pieces, and Andriessen's Trepidus, Garden of Erosand Workers Union.
