Classical music inspiring new works.

Alongside pieces by E. Carter and K. Saariaho, La Follia will play works by two composers they collaborate with: Alessandro Solbiati, one of the most relevant figures of new music in Italy and the very young and talented composer Leon Haxby, currently studying at Birmingham Conservatoire. Both composers have been greatly influenced by Schubert’s music. Haxby’s first String Quartet is inspired by Schubert and uses quotations from his first String Quartet in E flat as the basis of material.

Solbiati broadcats for RAI Radio TRE on Schubert’s music and he has written and published the essay I luoghi della mente: l’acqua in Schubert (Sites of the Mind: Schubert and the water), in which he analyses Schubert’s Lieders. His analysis describes the relationship between music and lyrics in Schubert’s Lieders which helped to inspire the lyricism evident in his solo flute piece.

La Follia Duo is a flute and cello duo specialising in Baroque and Contemporary Classical Music.
