Rare Earth
Luminescent fragility
A scarce solo recital from the cellist of the Arditti Quartet brings to Sheffield the UK premieres of Brian Ferneyhough’s In Nomine, Mark Andre’s iv2 and Enno Poppe’s Zwölf. Elements with radioactive properties and strong luminescent qualities known as lanthanides or ’rare earths’ inspire composer Dorothy Ker’s new work for cello.
