Georgia Spiropoulos

The Athens-born composer was featured at this year's ManiFeste festival at IRCAM: her 2010 theatre piece The Bacchae, the opening of which can be seen above, appeared alongside two new pieces, Membranes, for timpani, and Roll... n'Roll... n'Roll, for harp and live electronics, both of which can be heard by following links to the richly stocked IRCAM archive. IRCAM also offers a handsome video of a Philharmonie de Paris concert featuring Michael Jarrell's Assonance VII, Helmut Lachenmann's Mouvement (-vor der Erstarrung), and Boulez's mighty Répons, with the Ensemble Intercontemporain under the direction of Matthias Pintscher.
