LUDWIG

- a tribute to Beethoven

 in music and film

Performed by a chamber orchestra of 12 musicians, LUDWIG features several works inspired by Beethoven's ‘apotheosis of the dance’ Symphony No 7

 created by some of the most exciting composers working today: Charlie Barber, Graham Fitkin, Robert Moran, Orlando Gough and Patrick Nunn 

John Corigliano's Fantasia on an Ostinato based on the 2nd movement of the same symphony is also included in the programme

A further highlight is Beethoven's work for glass harmonica written in 1815. The work is performed on video by Alasdair Malloy and is heard alongside a new set of variations composed by Charlie Barber

Ludwig Van, a surreal fantasy in film made in 1970 by Mauricio Kagel, is also included as well as new video art
