My March 9th concert with the Contemporary Music Ensemble of Wales will be broadcast this coming Saturday, April 19th, 2008 at 10:30 PM GMT. You can listen online at www.bbc.co.uk/radio3 live, and the show will be archived on the Radio 3 website for one week from the date of the broadcast.

In addition to three works by Gordon Downie, Earle Brown’s witty Novara and Mefano’s magical and ephemeral Interferances, the concert culminates in a performance of Xenakis masterful and deeply affecting Akrata.

For those interested in Xenakis, please check out On An Overgrown Path, where Pliable is focusing on the Greek master this week. Or check out some of my recent posts.

Re-blogged below is the broadcast info from the R3 website–
