It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Alexander Goehr at the age of 92. Distinguished composer and teacher, Goehr’s substantial impact on contemporary music in Britain and abroad is perceptible through his significant compositional output as well as the many noteworthy composers whom he taught. Sandy (to all who knew him) passed away on 26 August 2024.

What happens when the past and present become one? In Double Chaconne with Gaps Alexander Goehr takes the idea of a chaconne and transforms it with new dimensions. This exciting piece received its premiere on October 15th 2022 in the framework of the Donaueschinger Musiktage with the Talea Ensemble under the baton of Dirk von Lowtzow.
