Live Stage: Jon Rose [
London]
Resonance104.4fm is proud to present a unique concert of new music featuring Australia’s foremost improviser JON ROSE - Exhumed and Defrosted New Musical Explorations :: April 11, 2008; 8:30 pm :: St Pancras Old Church, Pancras Road, Kings Cross.
This is a unique (for British audiences probably the very last) opportunity to hear the music of Jon Rose and two of his own very favourite acoustic settings: The Kryonics: Jon Rose, violins (including the Stroh cello); Aleks Kolkowski, violin (including the Stroh violin); Joe Williamson, contrabass violin :: Temperament: Jon Rose, violins; Veryan Weston, resident Brindley & Foster wind organ with tracker action.
At last audiences in London can find out what this euro-star-music is all about as the wind organ at the oldest church in Britain - St. Pancras, London (founded 314 AD) - has been confirmed for a Weston-Rose concert on 11th April with Aleks Kolkowski’s Kryonics Stroh Violin project on the same bill.
Not since the gothic horror of H P Lovecraft in his ‘Music of Erich Zahn’ has the art of music offered such an evening of candlelit weirdness and intrigue. The combination of Tenor violin, half stopped organ, Stroh violin, bass violin, and bowed saw will set the spine erect and tingling. The setting? None other than London’s home of spook - St Pancras Old Church. Equipped with the notable stiffs of Johann Christian Bach, Mary Shelley, and Thomas Hardy to name but a few, the graveyard offers little comfort for those who would entertain an evening on the hard pew contemplating mortality and the ancient and modern of music. The crow awaits you at the door. Dress code: Black. Makeup: Black.
