It was in the former church of Santi Cosma e Damiani that Yuri and I recorded the music for Massimo Bartolini's Venice Biennale installation in the studio space created by Emanuele Wiltsch Barberio. Since then I have worked with Ema on various projects and one of these involves a series of fortnightly performances in a space adjacent to his former studio, and in the same environment as the Fondazione Archive Luigi Nono.

For the performance on December 4th Ema and Claron McFadden will give a live performance of a recording they made recently and which is issued on digital EP, and Claron and I will perform duo material for soprano and bass from a range of Laude, madrigals and some new material.

Performers: Emanuele Wiltsch Barberio, electronic; Claron McF adden, soprano; Gavin Bryars, double bass; plus, for some pieces, Sofia Pozdnyakova, mezzo soprano; Gabriele Tai, cello
