Thomas Adès Essentials

British composer Thomas Adès is a leading light in the world of 21st-century composition and performance. His work somehow manages to look forward and back at the same time, reflecting a clear love of music from the Renaissance to the Romantic and modern, manifesting in utterly contemporary, relevant pieces for today. Equally influential in the opera house, concert hall and beyond, Adès’ music—which has won him numerous awards—is compelling, intelligent and highly accessible.
