| Montreal Chamber Music Festival at St George's Church, Montreal, QC, 1101 Rue Stanley, Montreal H3B 2S2, Canada Thursday 23-May-13 08:00pm Bach Week: The Complete Brandenburg Concertos Bach wrote these six concertos for various instruments for the Margrave of Brandenburg who would eventually become the King of Prussia and Saxony. He was never paid and never thanked! It took 150 years before they became known as the Brandenburg Concertos and they are considered to be the greatest works in the Baroque repertoire. You’ll hear all of them in this concert that features a star-studded cast led by distinguished British violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch and including trumpet sensation Jens Lindemann and the winners of the Canada Council Musical Instrument Bank 2012 Competition along with many of Montreal’s finest musicians.
Today the Bank possesses 35 million dollars of string instruments and, through competition, offers each one for three years to outstanding young Canadian artists. A few of the instruments came together on stage at the Festival several years ago but otherwise the collection, which includes Stradivarius, Guarneri del Gesù and Gagliano, has never been heard in performance on the same stage at the same time. Until now! For the first time in the history of the Canada Council, we are proud to present 16 winners of the 2012 competition. This concert features each performer in a solo work by Bach. An historic event!Jens Lindemann, Trumpet Vincent Lauzer, Recorder Kirsten Zander, Oboe Elizabeth Wallfisch, Violin Jocelyn Roy, Flute Hank Knox, Harpsichord Alex Raine-Wright, Recorder Louis-Philippe Marsolais, Horn Jocelyn Veilleux, Horn Marc Gibbons, Oboe Marcus Thompson, Viola Betsy Macmillan, Viola da Gamba Elin Söderström, Viola da Gamba Denis Brott, Cello James VanDemark, Double Bass | ||

Newly interpreted in an exciting
Early-Fusion-ProjectIn the 16th century a clergyman from the Finnish town of Turku, which was then ruled by Sweden, put together a collection of "pious singings" (Piae Cantiones) for the students of the cathedral school. Since it was published in the then "Swedish" city of Greifswald, the precious treasures survived for future generations. Some of the melodies have Scandinavian origins, some are "imported" from Germany, Bohemia and the Mediterranean region and often date back into medieval times. The ENSEMBLE LA CHIMERA refer to their original programme concept as "Early Fusion. The musicians combine old instruments like lutes and violas da gamba with Norway’s traditional Hardanger violin and the modern saxophone – a surprising and imaginative transfer of sounds between the ages.

He really enjoyed Stockholm’s taverns where he sang songs accompanied by a cister that delighted both the king and his drinking mates. He was a gifted improvisational poet and found tunes for his singing in just about any place. That is not to say that he pulled his art out of a hat: because art is nice, but hard work (German comedian Karl Valentin). Nowadays the genius songwriter Carl Michael Bellman is treasured as a poet laureate in Sweden. His songs always capture life in all its beauty and decrepitude and they always storm directly to the listener’s heart. True to the spirit of their creator we serve them with an opulent Sunday breakfast. Nota bene: a hangover is welcome but not required. The buffet offers Scandinavian delicacies including salmon & matjes herring, köttbullar, roast beef & ham, a selection of salads & cheeses, blueberry pancakes, fresh waffles and much more. Hot drinks are included. Tickets € 35,- brunch concert, hot drinks included Works by Bellman, Carl Michael (1740-1795) | ||

| Boughton Aluph Church, Ashford, Ashford, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jun-13 07:30pm French Flair : Italian Furore Tickets: £18.00 £15.00 £12.00 Given the difficulties of travel and communication three centuries ago, it is all the more exciting to find that there was actually a great deal of musical exchange in Europe at this time. Indeed, because music was so highly appreciated at the Courts, composers were often paid to travel in order to bring back the latest styles and compositions. So it was that during the first half of the eighteenth century many French composers adopted Italian elements in their compositions, and also used the Italian vocabulary to name works and movements.

His most famous - Flow my tears - comes from his Second Book of Songs, published in 1600, and he used this as the basis for an extraordinary series of seven pavans, mapping a transcendental journey from darkness to light. As well as Flow my tears and the Lachrimae or seaven teares ,tonight’s programme features some of his other celebrated songs, including In darkness let me dwell, Sorrow stay and I saw my lady weep.
