| Kings Place: Hall One, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Wednesday 17-Mar-10 20:00 John Surman with Chris Laurence John Surman is a pivotal figure in UK and European jazz. This concert features the groundbreaking music from his two ECM records for string quartet and the brilliant double bassist Chris Laurence – Caruscating, recorded in 1999, and the more recent The Spaces in Between, where contemporary jazz combines with Surman’s deeply personal approach to chamber music. Infused with a quintessentially English sensibility, and 'fantastically vivid and evocative.' MOJO The Trans4mation String Quartet | ||

| Kings Place: Hall One, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Thursday 25-Mar-10 19:30 An American Kaleidoscope Each person looking through a kaleidoscope sees different images, but the vibrant colours and crystalline angles define the experience. Chou Wen-chung conjures the shades of the sunset on New York's Hudson River Valley with Twilight Colors. Pulitzer Prize-winner Joseph Schwantner uses shared monody to brilliant effect in his angular Elixir. Witnessing the music take off in directions of it own volition, John Huggler subtitled his Capriccio sregolato, 'a capriccio with a mind of its own'. In The Cinnamon Peeler, Californian Donald Crockett sets a bold and sensuous love poem by Sri Lankan-Canadian poet Michael Ondaatje. The use of 'chance operations' in John Cage's humorous Credo in US ensures that each performance is different from the last.

| Kings Place: Hall One, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Friday 26-Mar-10 19:30 All-American Grooves 'Orderly, and out of long habit, my heart continues to beat,' writes Louise Glück, whose poems are set by John Harbison in The Seven Ages. These four American works explore the rhythms and grooves that meter our lives. The penetrating rhythms of Ghanaian drumming underlie Michael Gandolfi's Grooved Surfaces. Elliott Carter inspires dialogue in a unique rhythmic language between three pairs of instruments in his Triple Duo. Paying homage, Rand Steiger replicates these couples in Elliott's Instruments.

| Kings Place: Hall One, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Saturday 27-Mar-10 19:30 American Vignettes Each piece on this programme features one or several vignettes with the power to transport us to a different time and place. Charles Ives' Five Street Songs evoke the composer's childhood memories of growing up in a small town in New England. Steven Stucky weaves together seven short miniatures in his first work for BMV, Boston Fancies. Each of Gunther Schuller's Four Vignettes is based on the dream-like paintings of surrealist Salvador Dalí. David Rakowski's chamber concerto Mikronomicon features BMV pianist Geoffrey Burleson.

Kings Place: Hall One, LondonFatal Optimists |
COMA London Ensemble |
| More Info... | ||
| Kings Place: Hall One, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Thursday 22-Apr-10 19:45 Fatal Optimists CoMA was established in 1993 to involve amateur musicians in contemporary music making. Their programme includes Donnacha Dennehy's A Fatal Optimist - an open score (in 4 parts) for any instrumentation. Ed Bennett on My Broken Machines: "One of my earliest memories growing up in an Irish seaside town is that of Barry's Amusements. Laughing policemen, mechanical fortune-tellers, tests of strength, ghost trains and an array of other eccentric machines brought this dark but strangely attractive emporium of fun to life. The building stood unoccupied for years and I frequently walked past and imagined this crazy carnival continuing inside while the unsuspecting public continued about their daily lives. In waves of nostalgia I often wonder what happened to all of those broken machines." (My Broken Machines was commissioned for CoMA by Diana Burrell, Artistic Director of Open Score in 2004.) Donnacha Dennehy on A Fatal Optimist: "I am optimistic despite the risks... The piece has an open instrumentation, and players can play in any register, while doing their best to highlight the obvious contours" (This work was written especially for CoMA, commissioned by Darragh Morgan, Artistic Director of Open Score in 2008.) Jennifer Walshe on he was she was: "The sounds I am interested in include those that we hear all the time but are normally considered flawed or redundant: twigs snapping in a burning fire, paper tearing, breathing, instrumental sounds that aren't considered ‘beautiful' in standard terms. I think these sounds have their own beauty in the way that pebbles on a beach or graffiti can have." David Coonan on Strange Set: "Strange Set takes its name from a series of concerts - given by the Irish new-music group, the Crash Ensemble - entitled Strange Folk! Strange Set is a short, highly charged dance piece based on extractions from Irish Set dancing: rhythmic patterns reflecting the contraction/expansion of movements, between the four dancers of a set, are suffused with a propulsive energy reminiscent of The Rite of Spring. It is written for four groups of undetermined instruments. (Strange Set was written for the CoMA London Ensemble as part of the Open Score project - an ongoing collaboration between CoMA and the Royal Academy of Music.) Stephen Montague on Chorale for the Cauldrons of Hell: "I was a Fulbright Scholar in Warsaw, 1972-74 and frequently travelled around Poland. On a cold, autumnal day in late November 1973, I visited the massive concentration camp at Auschwitz/Birkenau. There was no way to get there so I had decided to walk along the rusty rail spur to the camp a few kilometres away. The tracks went through the watch tower and stopped. It was getting dark and no one was there. I walked in cautiously, my mind on fire with the implacable evil this huge, industrial expanse represented. I wandered for an hour through the quiet ruins as long shadows lengthened in the fading light. Suddenly I realised I was lost in this vast maze of decaying barracks, broken furnaces and miles of barbed wire fences designed for only one exit. It was pitch dark and I couldn't find my way out. Around me the dark air stirred with the muted screams of millions. That night I believed in ghosts. I was scared, very scared, and had to keep telling myself I was just a cold, frightened tourist detoured for a few, freezing hours one dark and lonely night in the belly of the beast - in one of earth's cold cauldrons of Hell." (Chorale for the Cauldrons of Hell was commissioned by CoMA when Stephen was Artistic Director of CoMA's Open Score project and received its first performance at the CoMA Summer School 2005. Since then it has received many performances and has proved immensely popular with performers and audiences alike.) COMA London Ensemble | ||
