In Seven Days

Tom Adès and Tal Rosner in conversation

In Seven Days - Piano Concerto with Moving Image is a multi-media piece for piano, orchestra and six video screens. A collaboration between composer Thomas Adès and filmmaker Tal Rosner, the piece follows the Genesis tale of creation. The visuals in the piece are the result of an in-depth documentation of the recent re-generation of the Royal Festival Hall in London, threaded with footage and photographs of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles - the two places equally responsible for the work's commission.

London Sinfonietta, who premiered the work in 2008 and toured it around the UK earlier this year,  are now working towards releasing a combined DVD/Audio CD package in December 2011. We met with with composer and filmmaker to capture a short conversation about the conception and creation of In Seven Days, to be included on the DVD as an extra.
