Alex Paxton: How to Eat Your Sexuality

"A sound party that sounds like late Beethoven on speed", wrote the Stuttgarter Zeitung after the world premiere of Alex Paxton's "How to Eat Your Sexuality" in February 2025. The three-part work by the successful British composer, whose music the New York Times described as "the best-tempered sound in a long time" for good reason, is never overly cerebral, but rather immediate, wild and colorful.
