A BBC comedian once quoted a member of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival as saying, “The problem with new music is often that it sounds like a box of children’s toys falling down the stairs.” The Riot Ensemble adopted this quote with humor and presents a ‘toy box’ with contemporary works by Thomas Kotcheff, Monica Pearce, Michael Cryne, Utku Asuroglu, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Franco Donatoni, Jack Sheen, and music selected from their 2016 Call for Scores: Lee Westood, Yukiko Watanabe and Heather Stebbins.
