SIWAN RHYS / piano
GEORGE BARTON / percussion
GBSR DUO - George Barton (percussion) and Siwan Rhys (piano) - combines two of the UK’s finest young contemporary chamber instrumentalists: “a wonderful, adventuresome, sensitive pair of musicians” (Kate Molleson, BBC R3).
Known for their fearless, intense performances, GBSR’s work ranges from Stockhausen and Ustvolskaya to Brian Eno and Aphex Twin via Barbara Monk Feldman and Michael Pisaro, also taking in collaborations with leading improvisers like Angharad Davies and experimental pop artists like CHAINES.
Regular performances at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Bold Tendencies and Kings Place, other recent concerts include Laurence Osborn and Harold Budd at Cheltenham Music Festival, Eva-Maria Houben at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Oliver Leith’s Last Days at the Royal Opera House and at Walt Disney Hall with the LA Philharmonic.
