The current season features two world premieres; Gerald Barry’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with the Britten Sinfonia conducted by Thomas Adès at the Barbican in London and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and Kasia Glowicka’s Only My Pen Tolerates My Choices in recital at Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie.
