JG Thirlwell has been commissioned by the String Orchestra of Brooklyn to create a composition for their String Theories Festival. The piece will premiere at Roulette in NYC on April 10 2019, alongside premieres by John King and Lisa Renée Coons. Entitled ‘Exulansis‘, Thirlwell’s piece will feature the String Orchestra along with two french horns, two trombones and two percussionists. JG described the piece as “an urgent and cinematic work which explores escaping memories through the prism of the culture of fear and dread”. Tickets are available here
