John Adams: Shaker Loops (30’)
JAM Sinfonia
Igor Yuzefovich · leader
Leader of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Igor Yuzefovich, returns to lead the JAM Sinfonia for the second year. Recognised as one of the world’s finest violinists, Igor brings a compelling programme featuring Strauss’ Metamorphosen, a world premiere by Marisse Cato and John Adams’ mesmerising Shaker Loops, in which the composer tries to emulate the ripple effect of bodies of water in his music. The title Shaker Loops both reflects the “shaking” of the strings as they oscillate between notes and Adams’ vision of Shakers dancing to repetitive, ecstatic rhythms.
This concert marks the first collaboration between JAM on the Marsh and YCAT (Young Classical Artists Trust), bringing together handpicked emerging professionals from YCAT to perform alongside and under the leadership of Igor Yuzefovich.
This event is kindly supported by Orchestras Live, the Hinrichsen Foundation and the VW Foundation.
