 MARCH 2009

Leigh Landy and Andy Hugill Concert

Date: Wed 4th March, 7.00pm-8.30pm, PACE Building, Studio 1

This concert brings together two DMU ‘originals’. Perhaps nothing at all lies in common between their compositions – but Hugill’s interests in pataphysics (a new version of Catalogue de Grenouilles) and Landy’s surrealist humour (Soap Opera and the world premiere of To BBC or Not) are like two contrasting but perfectly balanced courses of a great meal.
