D'Amico, Flight from Byzantium (World Premiere) |
![]() | ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 25-Sep-10 07:30pm Haydn, D'Amico, Dufay and Bartók 1918, and Béla Bartók encountered the legend of a young girl, forced by three thugs to lure men from the street into their den. When she encounters a magical Mandarin, a wild pursuit ensues before she embraces him and he dies. The story drew from Bartók his most astonishing orchestral creation, a piece that thrusts life into the manic tumult of the chase as the orchestra screws itself towards breaking point before plunging into its final catastrophic chords. Matteo D’Amico’s view of the flight of civilisation from ancient Istanbul receives its world première at this concert – a piece for speaker, vocal ensemble and orchestra whose sudden journeying offers a provocative counterpoint to Bartók’s.

| National Centre for Early Music, York, York, United Kingdom Monday 6-Dec-10 07:30pm I Fagiolini's Christmas Dinner I Fagiolini bring their characteristic elan and humour to a beautifully varied meal of Christmas music. As amuse-bouche, Swiss bell-ringing, a primo piatto of great Christmas motets by Palestrina, Victoria and one of Byrd's most effervescent works. A Spanish salad presents a Christmas drama in which the Devil challenges Adam and Christ to a joust and after such a rich polyphonic diet, an aural sorbet by Hildegard of Bingen restores the taste buds. Poulenc and Warlock provide the coffee and mints. 'For all the humour, the programme worked beautifully because of the deadly serious musicianship that is I Fagiolini's gold standard' The Guardian Works by Byrd, William (1540-1623) | ||

The Clerks
Edward Wickham director
with
Merit Ariane Stephanos voice
George Qas-Barsoum voice
Abdul Salam Kheir voice, oud
Emerging from Edward Wickham's work with choirs in the Middle East, Qudduson [meaning Sanctus - Holy] explores the music of the different faiths and cultures of East and West looking at what unites these two seemingly very different musical traditions.
Here The Clerks' award-winning performances of sacred music of the West are combined with the virtuoso singing of three Middle Eastern singers steeped in Islamic and Christian music. The high emotion of so much of this music, what has moved and consoled its listeners for hundreds of years, thrilled and inspired them, is a deep faith not just in religion, but in the expressive possibilities of the human voice.

| Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Friday 18-Feb-11 07:30pm East meets West - An Extravaganza The maverick Australian, Percy Grainger (b1882-d1961) was a citizen of the world. A leading piano virtuoso and highly original composer, Grainger broke the snobbish boundaries of classical music, gaining inspiration from folk music of Europe, Asia and the Americas. His music is a celebration of life – from the wildly ecstatic to the heart-breakingly sad. The three-day event at Kings Place showcases some of his most vivid repertoire. Whether thrilling to the richness of the Royal Artillery Band, the West Point Wind Ensemble, direct from the USA, specially chosen instrumental ensembles from the London Music Colleges, or to Grainger’s terrific choral works, exotic world music percussion settings & multi-pianos, this event will take you on a voyage of discovery.

| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Friday 11-Mar-11 07:30pm Adès conducts Adès and Reich ‘…a dazzling fantasy of colour and semi-abstraction…[the work]could hardly be more alluring. The music was just as dazzling as the visuals. One left the hall lost in a kaleidoscope of colour, touched by an exquisitely decorative experience.’ The Sunday Times Thomas Adès is one of today’s most eagerly watched composers: his music has enthralled audiences the world over. In Seven Days is a collaboration with artist and filmmaker Tal Rosner, based on the Creation. It is heard next to the pulsing, trance-inducing rhythms of Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, a 1970s minimalist masterpiece. 6.15pm Pre-concert conversation with Tal Rosner. | ||
