| St Peter's Church, Shaldon, Shaldon, United Kingdom Thursday 20-Jun-13 07:00pm Noye's Fludde Ticket Information: £5 Noye's Fludde Director: Tony Lidington Conductor: Stephen Threlfall Noye: Julian Rippon Mrs Noye:Helen Haviland Voice of God: Leon Winston Chetham's School of Music Ensemble To mark the centenary of Benjamin Britten’s birth on 22 November 2013, this year’s Shaldon Festival will open with his community opera Noye’s Fludde, directed by Tony Lidington and conducted by Stephen Threlfall. The opera, based on the Chester Miracle Play, will involve over 60 local school children from Shaldon Primary School, Stokeinteignhead Primary School and Teignmouth Community School as well as professional singers. Young musicians from Chetham’s School of Music will form the core of the orchestra. The audience also gets the opportunity to participate in three hymn settings. To encourage the fullest participation by the audience, the first half hour following the start of the performance will be used to rehearse these audience items. The audience is asked to make sure they take their seats before 7.00pm, as it will be particularly difficult to seat late arrivals once the audience rehearsal has started. The performance time following the audience rehearsal is approximately 50 minutes and there will be no interval or bar facility on this occasion. The expected finishing time will be about 8.30pm. The Festival would like to thank the following people and organisations for their support: Father Ashley Lewin Manhire Bequest Chetham's School of Music and the Britten-Pears Foundation Devon County Council Councillor's Fund D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust The Golsoncott Foundation The Helen Foundation The Marjorie and Geoffrey Jones Charitable Trust This production starts at the earlier time of 7.00pm. Tickets are limited and only available by mail order. Please check the news box on the homepage for the current situation concerning the availability of tickets. | ||

| Sanssouci Palace: Court of Honour, Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany Sunday 23-Jun-13 09:00pm Scandinavian Last Night This week midsummer night is celebrated everywhere in the North and each country has its very own customs. In Denmark and Norway the summer solstice festivities were connected to John the Baptist’s saint’s day, so celebrations commence tonight into "St. Hans Eve". Lighting huge bonfires to scare away evil spirits is always an important part, then there is the traditional "fire speech", which takes a satirical look at day-to-day affairs. In Denmark they even place a straw witch on top of the fire and send her back to Mount Brocken in the Harz Mountains in Germany – German craftsmen are reported to have brought this custom to the country a long time ago. A night of miracles and legends – perfect for entering musical fairy-tale worlds where Shakespeare’s elves, Nordic trolls and characters from Arabian nights gather …

| Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury GL20 5RZ, United Kingdom Thursday 4-Jul-13 06:00pm Noye's Fludde at Tewkesbury Abbey Britten created Noye’s Fludde – regarded by many as still the most inspired and most inspiring piece of music for young people – simply because he passionately believed in bringing children and adults, amateurs and professionals together for community music-making. And he was good at it – at writing satisfying roles for highly trained professional soloists alongside parts for recorder ensembles, handbell ringers and beginner violinists. Making Noye’s Fludde doable for everyone, but at the same time something of substance and sophistication, was just one aspect of Britten’s genius.
This special Cheltenham Music Festival production will bring together over 200 local schoolchildren – singing, acting, playing, making costumes. Gloucestershire Youth Players’ founder Edward Derbyshire will direct, and the set and costumes will be designed by children’s author and illustrator James Mayhew. | ||

Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam o/Modernt ensemble - Monteverdi ontmoet Schönberg |
Works by Monteverdi (Madrigals from books four and five, including Cruda Amarilli) |
 | ||
| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Tuesday 18-Mar-14 08:15pm o/Modernt ensemble - Monteverdi ontmoet Schönberg De muziek van Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) en van Arnold Schönberg (1874-1951) lijken compleet
verschillend. Maar hun prachtige muziek kent opmerkelijke overeenkomsten. Monteverdi en
Schönberg leefden en componeerden aan het begin van respectievelijk de 17e en de 20e eeuw: begin
en eind van wat historici nu het ‘tonale tijdperk’ noemen. Monteverdi markeert de overgang van
renaissance naar barok; Schönberg de overgang van de romantiek naar de 20e eeuw.
In beide periodes traden grote verschuivingen op in de heersende opvattingen over muziek. Beide
componisten waren zich zeer bewust van de tegengestelde eisen die traditie en vernieuwing aan hun muziek
stelden. Dit concert onderzoekt deze tegenstelling, door werken tegenover elkaar te zetten die bestaande
tradities onderzoeken of juist brutaal nieuwe wegen bewandelen. Het werk Kurukshetra van de Britse
componist/pianist Charles Economou (1980) vormt hierop een kalm commentaar.

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Sunday 23-Mar-14 08:15pm Osiris Trio - Kunst van het trio Van het Geistertrio van Beethoven, via de verstilde wereld van de Japanse Toru Takemitsu naar
het pianotrio van vandaag. Het lijkt een wereldreis. Maar het verstilde tweede deel van Beethovens
beroemde pianotrio en een haiku van David Mitchell vormen samen de basis voor het nieuwe werk
van Klaas de Vries. Een fascinerend drieluik over de kunst van het trio.
Klaas de Vries schreef eerder op verzoek van het Osiris Trio een septet. Nu keert hij terug naar de basis van
het trio en voegt een zang- en spreekstem toe. De teksten zijn van de Engelse auteur David Mitchell (bekend
van de succesvol verfilmde roman Cloud Atlas). Met hem werkte De Vries ook samen voor de opera Wake,
over de Enschede vuurwerkramp. Mitchell neemt zelf de spreekstem voor zijn rekening.

| Philharmonie, Köln, Bischofsgartenstraße 1, 50667 Köln, Germany Tuesday 13-May-14 08:00pm Gürzenich-Orchester - Experiment Klassik Keine Kunst kann uns so bewegen wie die Musik – doch was ihre Wirkung ausmacht, ist nicht leicht zu erklären. Die besondere Aura, die Magie, das innere Wesen eines zeitlosen, klassischen Werkes: wie kann man sie beschreiben, warum werden wir so tief berührt? Diesen Fragen gehen Gürzenich-Kapellmeister Markus Stenz und der Wissenschaftsjournalist Ranga Yogeshwar bereits zum dritten Mal mit »Experiment Klassik« nach. Diesmal mit Arnold Schönbergs monumentalen »Gurre-Liedern«, die Anfang Juni 2014 im 11. Sinfoniekonzert zu erleben sind. Im ersten Teil des Konzertes tauchen Stenz und Yogeshwar gemeinsam mit dem Publikum in das Werk ein. Wie unterm Mikroskop untersuchen sie die wichtigsten Facetten des Stückes und beleuchten es von verschiedenen Seiten, lassen Passagen anspielen und vom Chor singen und gehen mit musikalischen Experimenten den Wirkungen auf den Grund. Im zweiten Konzertteil folgt die Aufführung des Werkes in Auszügen. Die begeisterten Publikumsreaktionen und ausverkauften Säle haben bei den ersten beiden Experimenten gezeigt, dass Markus Stenz und Ranga Yogeshwar mit »Experiment Klassik« passionierten Klassikliebhabern wie Neulingen gleichermaßen viel zu bieten haben.Image credit: Stenz/Yogeshwar Schoenberg, Arnold (1874-1951), Gurrelieder (Auszüge/Excerpts) | ||

Wie durch ein Brennglas lässt er in diesem oratorischen Liederzyklus die romantischen Melodie- und Klangwelten von Brahms bis zu Wagner und Mahler verschmelzen. Die Geschichte entführt den Hörer in die dänische Mythologie, sie erzählt das Drama um den auf Schloss Gurre herrschenden König Waldemar und dessen Liebe zur schönen Tove, die einem Giftmord aus Eifersucht zum Opfer fällt. Dieses hochdramatische Sujet erwecken an die 450 Mitwirkende zum Leben. Darunter auch die sechs hochkarätig besetzten Solistenstimmen mit Barbara Havemann, Brandon Jovanovich, Thomas Bauer, Gerhard Siegel, Claudia Mahnke und Johannes-Martin Kränzle. »Unerhört kunstvoll und von nie gehörten Klangwirkungen«, schwärmte Anton von Webern über die Uraufführung 1913, die für den damals weithin als »Bürgerschreck« geächteten Schönberg zum Triumph geriet: »Das jubelnde Rufen, das schon nach dem ersten Teil losbrach, stieg zum Tumult nach dem dritten... Und als dann der machtvoll aufbrausende Sonnenaufgangsgruß des Chors vorüber war, ... kannte das Jauchzen keine Grenze mehr.«Image credit: Matthias Baus Barbara Haveman, Soprano: Tove Thomas E.
