Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood is set to premiere his classical piece in the US at the beginning of next year.
Jonny Greenwood’s Popcorn Superhet Receiver for string orchestra is set to make its US debut at The Wordless Music Series at the St Paul The Apostle venue in New York City between January 16-17 2008.
It was commissioned by the BBC in 2005 when Greenwood was named the station’s Composer-in-Residence. It had its UK premiere in November 2006 at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Popcorn Superhet Receiver is a 20-minute work inspired by the phenomenon of white noise and the music of classical composers Krzysztof Penderecki, Gyorgy Ligeti and Olivier Messiaen.
It will be performed by a string orchestra comprising of 18 violins, six violas, six cellos and four double basses, reports Ateaseweb.
