MCR Speaker Series: Tarik O'Regan

PAST EVENT | 26 May 2014 18:00

The MCR is proud to be hosting alumnus Tarik O'Regan (1996), “one of the leading British composers of his generation” (Gramophone) who is writing “music of startling beauty” (The Observer).

His recent projects include Suite from Heart of Darkness for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the premiere of his first opera Heart of Darkness at the Royal Opera House. Currently he is working on a full-length ballet, commissioned by the Dutch National Ballet; and large-scale new works for the Hallé Orchestra, Sydney Dance Company, and the Royal Concertgebouw.

Tarik's music is described as “exquisite and delicate” (The Washington Post), generating “previously unheard sound worlds with astonishing effect” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). His work has been recognised with two Grammy nominations and two British Composer Awards.

All current members of Pembroke (plus guests) are welcome to the talk. Please sign up by 5pm Wednesday 21st May at http://tinyurl.com/tariktalk.
