Longplayer was commissioned by Artangel and is in the care of The Longplayer Trust
The theme of this year’s Rainy Days Festival of contemporary music is ‘extremes’.
Sounding out the extreme limits of humanity’s concept of time by playing across a millenium, Longplayer will feature as a listening post in the Grand Foyer of Philharmonie Luxembourg throughout the festival, from 20th-24th November.
The festival – curated by composer Catherine Kontz – features radical performances by the likes of Rubbish Music; in C//20 sonneurs performed by twenty bagpipers; Annea Lockwood’s Piano Garden; as well as Catherine Kontz’s own 12-hour durational work performed by mezzo-soprano Rosie Middleton.
Tickets will be released today.
