Violist/violinist and new music researcher Marco Fusi makes a welcome return to City with a programme of music for strings and electronics by North American composers, including the three members of Qubit (Aaron Einbond, David Bird and Alec Hall), the composers initiative founded in New York, and Berlin-based Canadian composer Chiyoko Szlavnics.

The programme explores divergent approaches to electronic sound, field recordings and interdisciplinary use of visual arts sources, centred around Fusi’s charismatic virtuosity.
