The Austrian-based contemporary chamber orchestra Klangforum Wien made a welcome return to Huddersfield this year with a new work from Rebecca Saunders - "Skin" - which was inspired, in part, by the work of Samuel Beckett. Also in tonight's programme, an exciting collaboration between composer/vocalist Jennifer Walshe and the Arditti Quartet; highlights from a recital given by pianist Richard Uttley; and a look at the innovative work of the Stone Orchestra who create new instruments (lithophones) to examine relationships between music and stone.
