The composer and pianist Eleanor Alberga writes music that is vivid and candid. She’s written orchestral music, chamber music, vocal music and powerful operas. Her work's often have the distinct imprint of folk music from her native Jamaica. They always have a direct and a really immediate impact.
For her performance with Joanna MacGregor on Thu 28 Feb Eleanor will draw on African rhythms and Aleksandr Pushkin’s famous poem, 'It’s time my friend, it’s time, to create spaciousness and profundity'; while transcriptions of the great political activist and musician Nina Simone crackle with fiery virtuosity, referencing Liszt, Bach and the blues.
