Christian Mason is enjoying a prolific career with an array of commissions including »Invisible Threads«, a major project involving the Arditti Quartet, Neue Vocalsolisten, Gareth Davis and Krassimir Sterev to be premiered at Wittener Tage für neue Musik in April 2023, followed by »The Singing Tree« for the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, and Neue Vocalsolisten, conducted by Michael Wendeberg (both setting texts by Paul Griffiths). In France, Mason will conclude his two-year residency with the Orchestre National d’Auvergne, with the first performance of Voix Terrestre for string orchestra, enhanced by an hour-long radio portrait by France Musique. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung has also commissioned Mason for a new sound installation to be presented at Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin and Tonhalle Zürich. Among future projects, he will work with Noemi Györi and the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège (on a flute concerto), Elinor Frey and baroque ensemble Il Gardellino, SWR Experimentalstudio Freiburg and Patricia Kopatchinskaja with Joonas Ahonen. His works have been performed by Francois-Xavier Roth, London Symphony Orchestra, Bamberger Symphoniker, BBC Philharmonic, among others. His works are recorded on the London Sinfonietta Label, LSO Live, Col Legno, Winter & Winter and nonclassical.
