This is the launch of Twentieth-Century Din, a new ensemble of outstanding young musicians, led by conductor Iwan Davies. Twentieth-century composers made it their mission to find new means of expression, breaking boundaries of forces and form. But their music is often considered difficult, inaccessible and obscure. Twentieth-Century Din will perform the most audacious and compelling works of the period, revelling in their drama, vitality and eccentricity – giving the lie to Noel Coward’s world-weary, ‘twentieth-century blues’.
