After six years and over sixty commissions, The Hermes Experiment celebrates its unique contribution to the new music scenes with their debut album HERE WE ARE. With their unique line-up of harp, clarinet, soprano and double bass, the sounds heard both live and recorded are like you’ve never heard before, including works by Anna Meredith, Errollyn Wallen, Misha Mullov-Abbado, Josephine Stephenson, Oliver Leith and a brand-new commission from Tom Coult.
The concert will feature works from their new album, released on Delphian Records, which includes some of the ensemble’s most-loved commissions from the past six years, travelling between different styles to showcase the possibilities of this distinctive line-up.
