| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Thursday 20-Jun-13 07:30pm Flowers and Fables Sibelius took the classical symphony and charged it with the freshness and energy of nature itself. Lutoslawski, meanwhile, launched brilliant musical fireworks into the grey skies of postwar Poland. Edward Gardner loves them both, and he begins and ends this concert with two of the twentieth century’s most original – and inspiring – symphonies. In between, something magical happens, as soprano Lucy Crowe re-tells Sibelius’s primal northern myth - and proves that Lutoslawski’s enchanted nursery rhymes aren’t just for children. (£10-£42) | ||

| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jun-13 07:30pm Dialogues Legends, fairy stories and games accompany major premieres in Knussen’s alluring programme. Britten’s knights’ tales joust with Henze’s delightful orientinfused “ballet-pantomime”. Lutoslawski loosens the foundations of modernist musical architecture to incorporate individual choice and freedom. Fantasy, wit and craftsmanship fuse Carter’s 70th birthday present for Daniel Barenboim and a major new work from Magnus Lindberg. Lindberg, Magnus (b. 1958), New Work | ||

Written for the Warsaw Philharmonic in 1954, Lutosławski’s virtuosic folk-inflected Concerto for Orchestra creates a unique sound-world. Lauded for his recording of Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues, pianist Alexander Melnikov is the soloist in the composer’s buoyant Piano Concerto No. 2. Andrzej Panufnik’s Tragic Overture and Lullaby and Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony paint a vivid picture of two nations in parallel periods of anxiety.Tickets £7.50 - £36. | ||

| Beethovenhalle, Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany Saturday 21-Sep-13 08:00pm Colour Intensive Orchestral Painting In 2013 the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra are coming to Bonn with their chief conductor Jonathan Nott to give three concerts. The residency is devoted to a link-up between Beethoven symphonies and outstanding works of the twentieth century which have in their turn become classics in their own right. In the first concert, the rhythmic drive of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony will be juxtaposed with a modern, colour-intensive orchestral painting: the Third Symphony of Witold Lutosławski, in which the passages dependent on chance with different tempo layers create an unpredictable polyphony of sound.
Additional Information: "For 8 at 8" Non-bookable reserved seats for students. 7.30 PM Orchestra portrait "All Ears for Half" Concert as part of the residency of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.

Een compleet Pools programma met twee strijkkwartetten van componist Karol Szymanowski. In zijn Tweede strijkkwartet roepen wervelende glissandi en geïsoleerde momenten van verstilling het geliefde Tatra gebergte van de componist op. Het kwartet speelt het met ‘een vanzelfsprekende kracht en bravoure’, aldus een lovende Washington Post.
Ook de Poolse componisten Weinberg, Lutoslawski en Penderecki hebben veel bijgedragen aan de 20e-eeuwse muziek, en in het bijzonder de Poolse muziek. Composities met de lyriek van Chopin, vermengd met de wonden van de 20e eeuw vol oorlogen en onderdrukking. Het Szymanowski Quartet speelt moderne strijkkwartetten met een geschiedenis.

| Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Saturday 30-Nov-13 07:30pm Britten's Inspirations Few British conductors can match Andrew Manze for musicianship and charisma, and Liverpool audiences have already taken him to their hearts. So we’re delighted to welcome him back as part of our Artist in Residence programme – as he brings all his imagination and verve to a very special Britten tribute concert. Britten’s rapturous musical dreamscape Les Illuminations is at the heart of this evening, sung by Lisa Larsson, a soprano with a voice as pure and as enchanting as Britten’s vision itself. First, though, comes Schumann’s impetuous Faust Overture – one of Britten’s favourite works – followed by another of Britten’s inspirations: Mahler’s extraordinary Fourth Symphony. It begins with sleigh bells and ends in the soloist singing about heaven.Image credit: Sven Lorenz | ||

| Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Thursday 1-May-14 07:30pm Don Juan Richard Strauss’s Don Juan goes off like a rocket, and you can almost smell the Fabergé Brut in this swashbuckling musical portrait of a great seducer in action. It’s a breathtaking opener to a concert that climaxes with Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra shooting joyful fireworks into the grey skies of post-war Poland. First, though, comes an even more brilliant celebration – as the 25-year-old violin star Ray Chen makes his Liverpool debut with the bittersweet songs and zingy dances of Prokofiev’s everpopular Second Violin Concerto. Three beautiful miniatures from Lutosławski’s friend Górecki complete what should be a memorable return visit for conductor Michał Nesterowicz – who had such a warm welcome last season. ‘Ray Chen can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin. Chen makes a beautiful sound but doesn’t get lost in tone for its own sake; he knows how to make a sound that feels exactly right for the piece in question.’ The Washington Post | ||

In 1977 wilden ambitieuze Finse componisten als Magnus Lindberg en Esa-Pekka Salonen de nieuwe muziek een impuls geven. Zo ontstond het informele verbond Korvat Auki, ofwel de Ears Open Society. Geïnspireerd door de Poolse componist Witold Lutoslawski combineerden ze moderne klanken met bekende harmonieën. Dat doen ze nog steeds: verrassend nieuw én opmerkelijk vertrouwd. Een van de belangrijkste Finse componisten nu is Magnus Lindberg. Het New European Ensemble haalt hem ter gelegenheid van hun vijfjarig bestaan naar Nederland. Het in Den Haag gevestigde gezelschap bestaat uit jonge musici uit heel Europa. Door zijn ‘excellente vertolkingskunst’ (de Volkskrant) is de groep inmiddels een gevestigde naam als het gaat om hedendaagse muziek. € 27,00 / € 21,50 Stadspas / € 21,50 CJP Works by Lindberg, Magnus (b. 1958) (Jubilees) | ||
