Game of Attrition: Arlene Sierra, Vol. 2, is Sierra's orchestral portrait disc, released by Bridge Records to international critical acclaim.

 

The Barbican Arts Centre in London has commissioned Arlene Sierra to write a new work for piano for acclaimed pianist Sarah Cahill for a premiere in March 2022. Ms Cahill will premiere the composition as part of her groundbreaking project, The Future is Female: an investigation and reframing of the piano literature featuring more than 70 compositions by women around the globe, from the Baroque to the present day, including new commissioned works.

Sarah Cahill will present a marathon performance of seven hours at the Barbican Centre Conservatory, allowing audience members to sit and listen for any length of time, with the ability to come and go, as well as the ability to walk around the space. Alongside Arlene Sierra's new work are featured composers including Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Teresa Carreño, Florence Price, Kaija Saariaho, Eleanor Alberga, Unsuk Chin, Anna Meredith, Hannah Kendall and many others.
