The Minutes

A concert of music by James McIlwrath: the minutes for toy piano and Stan’s scrap 3 for two bass recorders.

Performers are Kate Ledger, Lizzie Knatt and Otto Hashmi.

11 am - 1pm the minutes for toy piano (Kate Ledger)

2pm - 3pm Stan’s scrap 3 for two bass recorders (Lizzie Knatt and Otto Hashmi)

James made this music in response to Stan’s Cafe office meetings and so will be performed in the space that inspired it. The material for the minutes is derived from the activity and interactions of Stan’s Cafe workers, fluctuating between busyness and statis. The piece is 45 pages long and will take anywhere between 70-90 minutes to perform - it all depends on my productivity! As the music will be performed during a working day, you are invited to bring a laptop, grab a coffee and do some co-working alongside the performers. There will be a farewell to mark the end of James’s residency at Stan’s Cafe at the end of the day.

Free tickets and free food!
