Late Music York: Delta Saxophone Quartet, Ian Pace Unitarian Chapel, York

Growing out of Soundpool, a York-based composer/performer collective of the 1980s, Late Music York has been promoting new music in York for over 20 years. Composers and commissions featured in their concerts have included Frederic Rzewski, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir, Anna Meredith and Howard Skempton. Their latest series is equally broad, with music ranging from David Bowie to Tristan Murail (not forgetting younger local composers); the series can never be accused of having a narrow agenda. This review aims to contrast two separate events to give an idea of the range and variety one has come to expect from Late Music concerts.
