And Colin Matthews’ arrangements of music by Berg and Debussy Guest Artistic Associate Colin Matthews crafts an ingenious programme that mines the riches of the last hundred years of chamber music repertoire, tracing an elegant arch from the turbulent opening years of the twentieth century to the present day and back again. Framed by tiny masterpieces for a solo instrument, this is a rich tapestry, weaving into its fabric the distilled fervour of Berg and Webern, Knussen and Woolrich’s lyricism, and Stravinsky’s brittle, brilliant pastiches. Matthews’ own music and his arrangements of others takes its place here, as does Britten – some of his earliest chamber music to his last instrumental work. Nods also to Aldeburgh Artistic directors of the past and music from a composer who was a regular visitor and significant presence – Hans Werner Henze. A seamless sequence that seems to shape a new composition from many pre-constructed fragments – the familiar, the re-imagined and the unusual sharing an intimate space without ever jarring or jostling for attention – this is a modernist montage that startles, reveals and illuminates. | ||

| Orford Church, Orford IP12 2LU, United Kingdom Tuesday 18-Jun-13 08:00pm The Church Parables: Curlew River - I Initially inspired by Britten’s encounter with Noh theatre while on tour in Japan in 1955, Curlew River tells the haunting story of a mother's search for her lost son. Britten transforms the Noh play Sumidagawa into an English medieval mystery play, capturing remarkable similarities between the two distant cultures. The setting is shifted to medieval East Anglia – a feat easily achieved in Orford’s magnificent twelfth-century Church of St Bartholomew. The acclaimed company Mahogany Opera takes Britten’s assimilation of East and West, referencing both Noh tradition and medieval western iconography. Premiered in Orford at the 1964 Aldeburgh Festival, Curlew River is both heart-rending and remarkably evocative of Britten’s Suffolk: in the words of composer Robin Holloway, the spare setting “suffices to render river, marsh and circling birds with startling vividness”. Tickets are limited to two per booker | ||

| Orford Church, Orford IP12 2LU, United Kingdom Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:00pm The Church Parables: The Burning Fiery Furnace and The Prodigal Son Like Curlew River, Britten’s two subsequent Church Parables were both written for Orford Church and were premiered in the Aldeburgh Festivals of 1966
and 1968 respectively. They develop the pioneering ideas of Curlew River – the minimal instrumental and vocal forces and the inclusion of plainchant – but
have very different moods. With The Burning Fiery Furnace, Britten’s aimed to create ‘something much less sombre, an altogether gayer affair’, based on the Old Testament story of Nebuchadnezzar and the three Israelites.
Meanwhile The Prodigal Son was inspired by Rembrandt’s painting The Return of the Prodigal, which Britten had seen two years earlier on a trip to Leningrad. Mahogany’s production takes the principal established in Curlew River of merging East with West and extends it to the two later works, first contrasting Balinese dance drama with stained glass and then Middle Eastern Sufism with the art of Rembrandt and Bosch. Orford Church 7pm (The Burning Fiery Furnace 7–8.15pm; The Prodigal Son 9.30–10.45pm) Tickets are limited to two per booker | ||

| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Sunday 23-Jun-13 07:30pm The Hallé Orchestra and Wolfgang Rihm new work (world premiere) Is there a more joyous, thrilling moment in twentieth century music than the closing pages of Britten’s Purcell-inspired concerto for orchestra? The triumphal return of Purcell’s ancient but familiar theme at the conclusion to this riotously inventive, colourful tour de force simply takes the breath away. Including the fifth and final Aldeburgh world premiere in the Royal Philharmonic Society/Britten–Pears Foundation commissions, this concert traces Britten’s music from the rarely heard exoticism of an orient-inspired ballet via his first major orchestral song cycle as a fitting celebration to end the centenary Festival. Sir Mark Elder brings his Hallé Orchestra to Snape Maltings less than twelve months after his unforgettable concerts with the Aldeburgh World Orchestra.

They show a confidence of expression and technique consistent with Haydn's preeminent position in European musical life. They followed hard upon the second of Haydn's highly successful visits to England and demonstrated that at the age of 65 or so, Haydn still had much to offer in the development of the quartet form. It was indeed the only instrumental form that continued to hold his interest as he drew close to the end of his composing career. Speaking of the richly varied Opus 76 set of quartets, Charles Burney, the English writer and musician, told Haydn that he had "never received more pleasure from instrumental music; they are full of invention, fire, good taste and new effects". Benjamin Britten's Three Divertimenti started life as an abortive string quartet entitled Alla Quartetto Serioso: Go play, boy, play: a quotation from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. This early version dates from 1933, when the composer was nineteen, and, in turn, it grew out of an Alla Marcia which he had planned for an Emil and the Detectives suite. Five movements were projected for Go play, boy, play, each of which was to portray a schoolboy friend and to give impressions of boyish fun and games. The Alla Marcia was subtitled P.T. (Physical Training), and portrayed David Layton, a considerable athlete who went up to Cambridge. Subtitled Ragging, the third movement portrayed Francis Barton, a friend from prep. school days. The three completed movements were performed in 1933 and were well received, although the composer had his reservations and ceased work on the quartet. Nevertheless they were to receive another airing when a few years later Britten revised them and chose a new title – Three Divertimenti. (Notes by John Dalton courtesy of Making Music.) Schumann was the first great composer to combine piano and string quartet and he did it with such masterly skill, and with such inspiration, that he created in this work one of the eternal jewels in the entire repertoire of chamber music. The thematic material is full of youthful spontaneity and it is shaped and moulded with assured and mature craftsmanship. Only occasionally does the piano override the strings and the five instruments share a texture of extreme clarity and always with well-defined lines. Prize winners in the 2010 Royal Over-Seas League Competition and the 2009 5th Trondheim International String Quartet Competition in Norway, the Finzi Quartet has given recitals and made numerous festival appearances at major venues throughout the UK and Europe, including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Auditorio Sony in Madrid. The Quartet has also performed live on BBC Radio 3 and on Viennese Radio. As selected Young Artists the Quartet has benefited from the support of the Tillett Trust, Park Lane Group, the Tunnell Trust and the Kirckman Concerts Society. The Quartet held a Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester between 2010 and 2012, and made its debut release with Resonus Classics in May 2012. Now based both in London and Paris, the members of the Finzi Quartet are alumni of the Royal College of Music in London and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, and the Conservatoire National Superior de Musique et de Danse of both Paris and Lyon. British pianist Ashley Fripp has given solo, concerto and chamber music performances in many of the most prestigious venues throughout the UK, such as the Royal Festival, Queen Elizabeth, Birmingham Symphony, Barbican and Wigmore Halls. Recent international invitations have taken him throughout Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, China, Japan, Australia and the USA, to such halls as the Carnegie Hall (New York) and the Audimax Hall (Regensburg). He has won prizes at more than a dozen national and international competitions, including the coveted Gold Medal from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Diploma of Outstanding Merit at the 8th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, 1st Prize at the Brant International Piano Competition and the Award for Keyboard at the Royal Over-Seas League Competition. He has made appearances on BBC television and radio and has also performed in the Edinburgh, Brighton, Chipping Campden and City of London Festivals. Ashley Fripp studied at the Royal College of Music Junior Department and the Purcell School with Emily Jeffrey, and recently graduated with First Class Honours from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he is now undertaking postgraduate studies with Ronan O’Hora. Future plans include performances throughout the UK, France and Germany, and the recording of a Liszt album with Resonus Classics. His CD recording of both Chopin Piano Concertos was recently released on the Spektral Records label. Schumann, Robert (1810-1856), Piano Quintet | ||
