Are Carter’s snappy syncopations a transatlantic echo of Shostakovich’s irony-laden acerbic wit and Kurtág’s compact, expressive gestures laden with the same potency as the sparse opening fragments of Britten’s sonata, which marked the beginning of an inspired collaboration with Rostropovich? At the heart of it, the cello’s inimitable voice, forceful but tender, sighing, singing, whispering, lamenting… | ||

| Sarasota Opera House, Sarasota, FL, Sarasota, FL, United States Friday 14-Jun-13 08:00pm A Musical Melange This blend of Italian, French, and Russian music with a sprinkling of strings, piano and woodwinds results in a melodic and colorful feast. A pinch of Bach permeates Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet, a work of stark emotional power. Poulenc’s jazzy sextet, described as “very fast and fiery” by the composer himself, is infectiously delectable. The chance to hear the only surviving chamber work by opera composer Giuseppe Verdi is a delicious treat. This magnificent masterpiece will make you wish Verdi had written more instrumental music. And for dessert, enjoy two surprises from the best student ensembles of the week. | ||

| Cheltenham Town Hall, Cheltenham GL50 1QA, United Kingdom Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:30pm A Britten Double Bill & Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony Chetham’s, in Manchester, is one of the world’s finest specialist music schools—and so it may easily lay claim to having the best school orchestra in the world. In this concert, they bring together two composers who, for the final decade and a half of their lives at least, became great friends and musical confederates. Years before they did meet, in 1959, they wrote these three very different pieces—two of which at least, Shostakovich’s 5th symphony from 1937 and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide from 1946, have become firm fixtures of the orchestral repertory. Britten’s Violin Concerto, premiered in New York in 1940, is performed here by the hugely-talented 16 year-old, Callum Smart—a Chetham’s student and winner of the strings category of BBC Young Musician in 2010. | ||

| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Friday 12-Jul-13 07:30pm Martha Argerich and Manchester Camerata In a career spanning more than 50 years, world-renowned Argentinean pianist Martha Argerich has won legions of admirers for her uniquely expressive and spirited performances and her fresh, imaginative recordings. Argerich only rarely visits the UK, which is why MIF is thrilled to welcome her to the city in collaboration with Manchester Camerata for this unmissable concert.Over the years, Argerich has established a number of close working relationships with musicians around the world. One such kinship is with Gábor Takács-Nagy, Music Director of Manchester Camerata, with whom Argerich has performed regularly to brilliant effect. This artistic affinity has inspired tonight’s concert, which features three vital contemporary works that showcase the keyboard in very different ways. Argerich will join Takács-Nagy and Manchester Camerata in Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.1, a longtime audience favourite celebrating its 80th birthday this year. Either side of this vibrant work, Manchester Camerata will perform Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, a brooding masterpiece from 1937; and Arvo Pärt’s rich, powerful Lamentate, for which the orchestra will be joined by pianist David Kadouch, a rising star from his generation. | ||
