for soprano, cello, bass clarinet and trombone

Monika Dalach Sayers (Composer)

Oge Nwosu (Writer) 

​

Commissioned by Wigmore Hall as part of the Voiceworks 

 

Lily ist von ihrem … Abenteuer zurückgekehrt is the piece created in collaboration with a librettist Oge Nwosu composed for soprano, cello, bass clarinet and trombone. The piece was premiered at the legendary Wigmore Hall in London as a part of the Voiceworks project and was awarded the Tracy Chadwell Prize. 

 

The music was composed to the original text written by Oge Nwosu. Importantly, the text takes its form from a collage technique pulling us into the fascinating world of Lily's adventures and the unrelated-related series of events. The project had been developed during a six-month period through a series of workshops and meetings led by Paul Newland and Julian Philips with the support of Wigmore Hall Learning –  a major supporter of contemporary chamber music and song, as a commissioner of new works and a champion of living composers. 

 

World Premiere of Lily ist von ihrem … Abenteuer zurückgekehrt took place on 23rd May 2017 at Wigmore Hall in London.
