As it happens, if you listen to Radio Three on Monday 21st June at 7.30pm. You will hear a broadcast from this year's Aldeburgh Festival. The subject of the broadcast is,

" One of the highlights of this year's Aldeburgh Festival: the new chamber music theatre piece by Harrison Birtwistle, who turns 70 next month. The Io Passion, for string quartet, clarinet,and six performers, to a text by Steven Plaice, combines Magritte type imagery, ritual and myth, and a powerful score exploring the darker side of sexual obsession. "
I am grateful to "Radio Times" for the above.

His work is performed throughout the world and Birtwistle has a position in the front rank of contemporary British music.
