OPENING RECEPTION
On
the night of Friday 11 November, London's radio art station Resonance104.4fm
will host a reception for CMA delegates and guests. This event will
feature a performance by the Resonance Radio Orchestra, marking the
launch of a seriesof commissions of new works for the ensemble
supported by the Calouste-Gulbenkian Foundation and the Moose Foundation
for the Arts.
 Described by The Guardian as
'the best radio station in London', Resonance was founded in May 2002
under the Radio Authority's Pilot Access Scheme. Run by the musical
educational charity London Musicians' Collective, Resonance's brief is
to offer a platform to the city's artistic community, to produce as
stimulating and wide-ranging a broadcast schedule as possible - and to
continue to surprise itself and its listeners.
One
hundred per cent Community, one hundred per cent Radio, Resonance seeks
not only to exploit the ways in which radio can galvanise local people,
but to explore the aesthetic andcommunicative possibilities offered by
the medium. The Resonance Radio Orchestra is a group which articulates
many of the station's characteristics - its experimental methodology,
its spirit of hospitality, its sense of social engagement, and its
status as a hub and meeting place for diverse minds. In it new music is
brought into equilibrium with text, sound engineering with conceptual
art, innovation with quotation, performance with broadcast. Musicians,
actors, writers, engineers, composers and improvisers participate in
the development of what is in effect a new art form, one made possible
and meaningful by community radio
But don't worry, tonight the Orchestra promise to keep it short and to the point.
Food and drink will of course be provided.
The Opening Reception takes place at:
The Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, Holborn, London WC1 (three minutes from Holborn tube)
