Sigma Project

Next on, in St Vincent’s Chapel at 3pm are Sigma Project, the Spanish sax players. They believe in putting a bit of theatre into their performances, this time of pieces largely by Spanish composers. “Tenebrae” by Jesús Torres is shadow music indeed, Renaissance polyphony heard from the distance – and at times up close. Helga Arias’s “Milk Spilt on a Stone” has the players bringing forward cloudy chords, hanging in the air. “Khôra”, by José María Sánchez-Verdú, is a kind of wordless ritual, taking its title from Plato’s term for a space of non-being. There’s also a striking piece by a Greek-Argentine modernist who has slipped out of history: Graciela Paraskevaídis.
