The Waterfront Hall said: "From the exquisitely realised miniature worlds of Maurice Ravel, to the sacred ecstasies of Messiaen and the bold, beautiful sonic architecture of his pupil Iannis Xenakis (who would have been 100 years old in 2022), these are sounds to ravish the ear and set the synapses sparking.
"The Hebrides Ensemble is a virtuoso chamber ensemble created especially to play music like this - up close and personal in Belfast’s Waterfront Studio."
