Sir George Benjamin’s collaboration with the Ensemble Modern now extends for over 30 years and has manifested itself in a series of important world premieres. His programme with the Ensemble Modern Orchestra features utterly contemporary works that use all the colourful and expressive assets of the full-scale orchestra.
