The Night With...Emma Lloyd

The Night With...Emma Lloyd

Emma Lloyd performs a programme of contemporary works that explore the violin’s expressive possibilities through extended techniques, electronics, and open-ended interpretation. Featuring music from her album mue, the concert brings together pieces shaped by long-standing collaborations and a shared curiosity for sound.

From delicate textures to dense sonorities, each work approaches the violin in a unique way. Rylan Gleave’s Small Haven balances notation and improvisation, while Émilie Girard-Charest’s Mue embraces transformation and instability. Matthew Whiteside’s freely, darkly, deeply expands and layers sound through effects pedals and live looping, and Egidija Medekšaitė’s Mishra Pilu weaves fragmented materials into a meditative, shifting form. Emma’s own caprices esquisses push the instrument to its sonic limits, embracing the unpredictable.
These works are shaped by long-standing creative relationships between Emma and the composers and a shared curiosity for the violin’s possibilities. At the heart of the concert is an exploration of sound in flux—where each performance is a conversation between structure and spontaneity.
The concert is supported by PRS Foundation’s Beyond Borders Scheme.
