Laonikos speaks to Aaron Holloway-Nahum (@aaronhnahum) about Riot Ensemble (@riotensmble) and new music today, from the challenges of programming a concert to what it means to have one's work recognised.

The music you're hearing is "The Geometry of Clouds" by Aaron Holloway-Nahum, in a rehearsal by Adam Swayne (piano), @marieschreer (violin), Stephen Upshaw (viola) and @louise-mcmonagle (cello) at Wigmore Hall in February 2021.
