Ten angry men

The Australian composer Brett Dean has signed an exclusive agreement with music publishers Boosey & Hawkes/ Bote & Bock. As also a professional viola player he has been a member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 1985, which has offered opportunities to be involved in new music premieres as soloist or chamber ensemble player.

There's also a streak of wry humour to be found in Dean's title for a piece written for the cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic: Ten Angry Men.
