My trademark black woollen coat and I will be taking in no fewer than three HCMF gigs this year, namely Richard Uttley, United Instruments of Lucilin and Erik Drescher. Don’t be strangers, any fellow attendees!
Simon, I’m looking forward to that retrospective. Any chance Dillon’s Stabat Mater will be featured, or are you still to be convinced by it?
Great you’ll be there Chris – i’ll watch out for the coat, you can watch out for the trademark pink scarf!
Stabat Mater – we’ll see…

Maybe BBC3 will have better broadcasts this time than last year (was very disappointed that they did not broadcast any of the Ardittis performances of James Dillon).
John – i spoke with James about this at the Arditti concert last year, as it was immediately clear that there was no recording/broadcast equipment anywhere in sight (although, i must say, this was quite nice for a change); if i recall correctly he said that the Ardittis were in the throes of recording all the quartets, so i wondered if the Beeb weren’t going to broadcast them due to an imminent CD release—but as yet, nothing’s emerged. If you download the brochure from the HCMF website, the back page shows a summary of all the forthcoming broadcasts.
Just saw the brochure via issuu.com. At least there will be the Arditti gig on 1/2/16. Although BBC3 won’t be broadcasting the Bozzini program, Wandelweiser will be releasing Jurg Frey’s third quartet right quickly (http://www.wandelweiser.de/new_releases/).
