The Hermes Experiment, a contemporary British ensemble consisting of harp, clarinet, soprano and double bass, enjoys “capitalizing on [its] deliberately idiosyncratic combination of instruments” through existing works, the members’ own arrangements and commissioning new music. Its programme tonight showcases just that, with the composers of all but two of the works active today and four pieces arranged by members of the group.
