Info for Strata: Eleanor Alberga Orchestral Works

British composer Eleanor Alberga is renowned for her mastery of orchestral colour and form. With her distinctive blend of lyricism and rhythmic dynamism, Alberga crafts a sonic journey that is both exhilarating and deeply moving.

From the arresting grandeur of the symphonic landscapes in her first symphony, Strata, to the pulsating and evocative energy of Mythologies, each piece is a testament to Alberga’s boundless creativity.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Thoimas Kemp, are joined by the Castalian String Quartet for Tower with its cascading melodies and rhythmic intensity, embodying both strength and intimate intricacies.
