Five Memos
May 2015
Mark's new piece
Five Memos for violin and piano, commissioned by
London Music Masters for
Hyeyoon Park and
Huw Watkins, is inspired by the writings of the Italian author
Italo Calvino and will be premiered at the
Newbury Spring Festival on May 10th. Calvino was due to deliver the
Charles Eliot Norton Lectures series at Harvard in 1985-6 but suddenly died before taking up the professorship. The incomplete scripts were published in 1988 as
Six Memos for the Next Millennium. The five surviving essays explore artistic virtues that Calvino wanted to pass on to future generations.
