| Wigmore Hall, London, United Kingdom Saturday 17-Apr-10 13:00 Jean-Guihen Queyras cello Canadian-born French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras has made a speciality of repertoire for the unaccompanied instrument, demonstrating its exceptional narrative and expressive force. Over two concerts in one day he performs Bach’s six Cello Suites, the first and still pre-eminent masterpieces for the solo instrument. These works, in which Bach does for the cello what his Sonatas and Partitas did for the solo violin. They represent not only a compendium of every facet of the instrument’s technique but also of Bach’s unique compositional genius, creating in each suite of prelude and five dances an intimate sound-world that draws the listener in as the cello spins its mesmerising web of melodic conversation.

| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco CA 94102, United States Saturday 17-Apr-10 14:00 Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush Charlie Chaplin in The Gold Rush Most people know Chaplin as a comic genius. Fewer people realize he wrote the music for his films. The Gold Rush is the movie Chaplin said he would most like to be remembered for. In scene after scene— including one in which the little hobo transforms a shoe into a feast fit for a king—this 1925 silent-film classic virtually defines visual comedy. Along with our screening of The Gold Rush, the SFS plays Chaplin’s original score. San Francisco Symphony | ||

| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Saturday 17-Apr-10 19:00 Pictures at an Exhibition When Maurice Ravel arranged Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition for orchestra, he created one of the few adaptations that’s better than the original! From its famous opening Promenade to the roof-raising final Great Gate of Kiev, it’s one of the all-time great orchestral showpieces, a glittering Russian jewel-box full of spicy tunes and unforgettable images. It’s a real CBSO favourite – and Dvorˇák’s riotous Carnival Overture is every bit as colourful. The great open spaces of Beethoven’s noble violin concerto will be like an oasis of calm – especially in the masterly hands of the young German virtuoso Isabelle Faust.

| More Info...Buy tickets! | ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, United Kingdom Saturday 17-Apr-10 19:30 London Philharmonic Orchestra with Marin Alsop As the resounding stillness of his Third Symphony echoed through Europe in 1977, Henryk Górecki's unparalleled music began to uplift, move and inspire thousands of listeners - many of whom were entirely new to classical music. Whilst the pattern-based, hypnotic minimalism of Philip Glass was emerging in America, in Poland Górecki was beginning to create music that concurrently displayed energy and placidity. It was inspired not by the compelling clacketty-clack of industrial America that beats behind Glass's music, but in the granite-like eternities of Polish soil, folksong and faith. Thirty-two years later, Górecki unveils the fourth step on his symphonic journey, and Europe greets Glass's Concerto No. 2 for Violin and Orchestra (The American Four Seasons). Turnage’s new work is commissioned by the Festival de Música de Canarias, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Glass’s Concerto No 2 for Violin and Orchestra: The American Four Seasons is commissioned by the Toronto Symphony and London Philharmonic Orchestras, Aspen Music Festival and School, Krannert Center at the University of Illinois and Carlsen Center at the Johnson County Community College. Górecki’s Symphony 4 is commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Southbank Centre London, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and Zaterdag Matinee Amsterdam. Tickets £9 - £38.

| Hilbert Circle Theatre, 45 Monument Circle, Indianapolis 46204, United States Saturday 17-Apr-10 19:30 Dvorak's "New World" Symphony At the premiere of the "New World" Symphony the New York Evening Post declared, "a masterwork has been added to the symphonic literature;" over a century later, it remains one of the most popular works in the repertoire. While it was inspired by the music of America, including the spirituals of African Americans and Native Americans, the symphony is full of Czech references and is as much Dvorak's homesick tribute to his native land as it is a tribute to America. Polish conductor Krysztof Urbanski makes his US debut and Dejan Lazic returns for Mozart's A Major Piano Concerto. The Dvorák American Heritage Association maintains a website dedicated to Dvorák's residency in America. Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Krzysztof Urbanski, Conductor Dejan Lazic, Piano | ||

Stravinsky's still-startling score from 1911 blew the dust off the Punch and Judy tradition once and for all, creating a tragicomic masterpiece of staggering inventiveness. Opening the program is Ravel's tender Mother Goose Suite composed in 1910, originally for piano duet, with pieces inspired by the famous children's stories. American pianist Emanuel Ax joins Maestro Dutoit and the Orchestra for Beethoven's B-flat-major Concerto, the perfect amalgam of Classical charm and Beethovenian bite.
