Welcome!
The Mornington Trust and Lontano proudly present the 9th London Festival of American Music, to be held from 11th–15th November at The Warehouse in London.
Curated by visionary Cuban-American conductor-composer, Odaline de la Martínez, the five-day Festival aims to promote the work of outstanding American composers who are well established at home but less well known to UK audiences.
The Festival reflects new music in America today, celebrating diversity of gender, generation, ethnicity and geography. Over half the composers featured are women, with many hailing from ethnic minority backgrounds. Alongside international names, such as Charles Ives, Steve Reich, and Tania León, are a plethora of emerging voices, many of whom will be in attendanceat the Festival.
This year’s Festival features two World Premieres and fourteen UK Premieres by Elena Ruehr, Daniel Asia, Jennifer Higdon and many more, including a newly commissioned work from Daniel Thomas Davis, and a new version of Louis Karchin’s Incantations and Dances. The Festival also celebrates Odaline de la Martinez’s 75th Anniversary with two works: Canciones and Three Afro Cuban Poems.
We look forward to seeing you there!
