Ensemble
Cambridge University Experimental Music Ensemble (CueMe) was founded by composer, researcher, and improviser Saman Samadi, in 2021, with the support of Peter McMurray of the Faculty of Music, and Lynette Alcántara of Wolfson College, with the aim of undertaking performances through a fresh approach to the classics of the repertoire. CueMe aspires to deliver renditions different from the mainstream of the experimental music scene, and through experimentation, as a new mode of interpretation, on works of the past that were not meant to be 'experimental'. The ensemble is also enthusiastic to perform works by both emerging and established living composers. CueMe had its inaugural concert in the West Road Concert Hall, on May 10, followed by another performance in Lee Hall, Wolfson College, Cambridge, on May 14.
