A preponderance of composers at this year’s HCMF whose work either doesn’t interest me, or is sufficiently unknown to me that I don’t know if I should be intrigued enough to move heaven and earth family-arrangements-wise in order to attend. I’ll do my now-annual stint at Shorts, though, and will try to get to the Bates Mill gig on the second Saturday, as I’m curious to hear how Eastman “comes across” live. Tempted, also, by the all-Stockhausen programme at the same venue the preceding night.

I’m glad you were able to post the full Huddersfield schedule. I hope that BBC3 Hear ‘n’ Now will broadcast more of the gigs, including the Arditti one on the final day. (Still awaiting Arditti’s complete recording of all of the Dillon quartets but maybe the added two will make more worth the while. Maybe.)
