The work of Dutch composer Louis Andriessen will be performed by the London Sinfonietta at this year's Ether Festival at the Southbank Centre. Extra members can win one of five pairs of tickets to the performance on 14 April
Louis Andriessen is viewed as one of Europe's most important contemporary composers. His work is influenced by everything from jazz to minimalism and often features wind and brass as well as pianos and electric guitars.
Next month, Andriessen's latest work, Ana�s Nin, will be performed by London Sinfonietta as part of the Southbank Centre's annual Ether Festival.
The piece profiles the irony, despair and passion of the famous writer and diarist through a pulsating score infused with the sound of the 1930's American jazz scene plus surviving and created film footage.
The evening will also include a performance of De Staat, Andriessen's 1976 work for large ensemble, which weaves in extracts from Plato to evoke a time when musical innovation was considered powerful enough to topple a state.
Extra members can win one of five pairs of tickets to the concert. The competition winners will also receive a free concert programme and interval drink.
The competition closes at midnight on 31 March.
