Permutations

Permutations is a new work by Freya Waley-Cohen, commissioned as part of a Aldeburgh Festival’s 2017 season and exploring the relationship between architecture and music. The music for six recorded violins, performed by Tamsin Waley-Cohen (Freya’s sister), has been composed in parallel with the design of six chambers, each housing one violin part.

She enjoys a duo partnership with Huw Watkins, whose
