About

Mark-Anthony Turnage is one of the most successful modern composers. His works have been strongly influenced by jazz in general, and by Miles Davis in particular. With his mixture of jazz and classical music styles and his creative sounds Turnage enriches the field of contemporary music.

Greek, first performed in 1988, was composed on behalf of the Munich Biennale and is based on Steven Berkoff’s adaptation of Oedipus the King to a modern-day setting in London. It received its première in Munich and won the prizes for best opera and best libretto. It is a typical example of Turnage’s determinedly urban music. His compositional style is not consistently tonal, but remains accessible, colourful, often with aggressive effects, but always retaining an underlying lyricism, at times with a powerful dramatic impact and emotional power.

This production has won the following awards:
o The Royal Philharmonic Society’s Awards, Best Music Programme
