VOICES + Free & Equal Vol. 2

11th July 2023 Mike Terry

In this double bill charity concert, experience some of the best contemporary composition in the UK, and reflect on the meaning of Human Rights.

Studio Richter Mahr commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in this special charity event raising money for Médecins Sans Frontières.

Max Richter and his ensemble perform VOICES. Featuring readings from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the piece is performed on radically reimagined orchestration dominated by the low frequencies of basses and cellos.

Opening the concert, a special guest pianist will perform pieces from Free & Equal Vol. 2. Curated by BBC Radio 3’s Elizabeth Alker, Free & Equal Vol.2 features pieces from exciting contemporary composers arranged for piano.

Having first worked together on Max’s second album, The Blue Notesbooks, 20 years ago, Oscar winning-actor Tilda Swinton joined Max and his ensemble on stage at Glastonbury Festival to perform the record live together for the first time.

Fresh from this performance, Tilda joins Max at Bluedot Festival on 20th July, performing in front of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank.

Reading from The Universal Declaration of Human Rights during VOICES, this is her first ever performance of this work.

Live dates in Australia

3rd April 2023 Mike Terry

Vivid LIVE, Sydney, Saturday 3rd June

I’m excited to be bringing Ambient Orchestra to Vivid – an adventurous festival which is the perfect place to perform these pieces exploring the orchestra as a medium for ambient music.

I’ll be performing two pieces which have never been played in Australia before – Exiles and Testament.

Some of my best live memories are from the Sydney Opera House, so I’m glad to be back for the first time since 2016’s SLEEP.

Book tickets

Dark Mofo, 9th, 10th & 14th June

After Sydney, I’ll be travelling to Tasmania’s Dark Mofo festival, for three performances.

As well as performing VOICES and Recomposed twice, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be performing SLEEP again, seven years since we performed it in Sydney – the full eight hours, overnight at this beautiful location.
