Before the Road: The Music of Gerald Barry

Before the Road: The Music of Gerald Barry

Tuesday, 27 January 2015, 1.15pm

The RNCM and BBC Philharmonic are delighted to present a festival of the extraordinary Irish composer Gerald Barry. A musical maverick and at times even a surrealist, the only thing to expect from Barry’s music is the unexpected. Characters are turned on their head, violence is juxtaposed with poetic beauty and the listener is invariably taken on an unforgettable journey.

‘Barry’s is a world of sharp edges, of precisely defined yet utterly unpredictable musical objects. His music sounds like no one else’s in its diamond-like hardness, its humour, and sometimes, its violence.’ Tom Service, The Guardian
