CYM Xtra! is a new strand of the Centre for Young Musicians Hackney (CYM Hackney), set up to offer innovative and high quality music making opportunities for experienced players in addition to the ongoing classes offered by the school. It offers an additional range of activities including composition and music technology workshops working with leading artists including composer Matthew King and cellist Natalie Clein. The first winner of both the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians and BBC Young Musician of the Year, Natalie’s performances have taken her all over Europe as well as Japan, Australia, America and Buenos Aires. Winner of the 2005 Classical Brit Award, she records exclusively for EMI and performs regularly in chamber music as well as a soloist. Her new recording of the Elgar cello concerto has just been released to critical acclaim and Natalie is the cover feature of November’s Classic FM Magazine. Odyssean Variations, the new work for solo cello and orchestra was written for a range of instrumental groups, choir and electro-acoustical forces. This exciting world premiere for virtuoso cellist Natalie Clein and Chamber Orchestra, charts Odysseus’s return voyage from the ravaged city of Troy. The variations describe his adventures with the one-eyed Cyclops, clashing rocks, singing sirens, ghosts in the Kingdom of the Dead and Circe the sorceress who turns humans into pigs. It was performed alongside new works by Joseph Finlay and Sam Q Smith, two composers from HMDT’s PRS Foundation Young Composers’ Scheme, at LSO St Luke’s on 28th June 2008.
