Zimmermann Musique pour les soupers du Roi Ubu

Guildhall’s experimental Ubu Ensemble returns with a fascinatingly scored, jazzy work by 20th century composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Translated as “Music for the dinners of King Ubu”, it is inspired by the play Ubu Roi by French symbolist writer Alfred Jarry, and displays Zimmermann’s personal ‘Klangkomposition’ style of combining layers of musical material from various time periods.
