Ahead of the UK Premieres of Skull and Us Dead Talk Love at hcmf// 2023, we’re delighted to share an artist Q&A with internationally acclaimed composer Rebecca Saunders.
In this illuminating interview, Saunders speaks with writer and teacher Tim Rutherford-Johnson about the literary influences on her works (such as Beckett and Joyce), how her compositions incorporate texts, the importance of working with musicians and the elements of freedom that have emerged during her process in recent years.
Watch the full Q&A in the video embed below. You can read more about Saunder’s work and the compositions we’ll be featuring at hcmf// 2023 in our recent artist profile.
The 46th edition of Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, hcmf// 2023, takes place Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2023. Tickets for all concerts including Oslo Sinfonietta (featuring Skull) and Ensemble Nikel + Noa Frenkel (featuring Us Dead Talk Love) are on sale now.
