| Aldeburgh Box Office, 152 High Street, Aldeburgh IP15 5AQ, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 The Borough Punchdrunk Theatre Company and its artistic director Felix Barrett are pioneers in a highly individual form of theatre, focusing as much on audience members and the surroundings as the performers and the narrative. Lines between spaces, performer and spectator blur to create an unforgettable experience. This version sets the story somewhere between George Crabbe’s poem The Borough and Britten’s masterpiece, Peter Grimes. It will take audience members on individual theatrical journeys around Grimes’ town, following in his footsteps and hearing Britten’s score. Open air: Outdoors | ||

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… | ||

| Concertgebouw: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands Saturday 8-Jun-13 01:30pm The Gospel according to the other Mary John Adams has proven in his past work that he is not one to shun big themes. Famous for being the composer who added depth to the minimal music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass by allowing romantic gestures and modern techniques, he has dealt with political issues such as terrorism, 9/11, the atomic bomb and the Los Angeles riots. Now Adams is taking the challenge to delve into the greatest story of Western history. He created a
modern passion, centring not on Jesus, but on Mary Magdalene. Through her eyes we witness the suffering of the world and the compassion of man. A poignant and captivating modern passion for our current dark times. Los Angeles première 31st May 2012.

| Blythburgh Church, Blythburgh, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 04:00pm Angels in Blythburgh Jonathan Harvey’s choral music is distinguished by an often ecstatic lyricism and a serene spirituality, where the purity of the human voice contrasts with
startling vocal explorations stretching the possibilities of choral sound to its very boundaries. This is astonishing music of multi-layered intricacy that exerts
a direct emotional pull, alluding to other music and cultures, other centuries, yet speaking with one voice, seemingly timeless and yet recognisably of today.
The Latvian Radio Choir’s recent rapturously-received recording demonstrated their virtuosity and affinity with this music. Here they tellingly pair Harvey
with Tudor anthems – a set of celebratory hymns and psalms and devotional prayers that contain some of the highpoints of English sacred repertoire. ‘No British choir sings with the precision and vibrato-free purity of this brilliant group from Riga’ - The Independent | ||

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 8-Jun-13 05:00pm Nine Rivers Marathon implementation of the magnum opus of the Scottish composer James Dillon, a unique experience.
Three of The Netherlands’ most outstanding ensembles join the virtuoso American percussionist and conductor Steven Schick for a marathon performance of Scottish composer James Dillon’s masterpiece Nine Rivers. This vast, ambitious work consists of nine parts for varying instrumentations, ranging from solo percussion and a cappella choir to strings and electronics. The piece focuses on the river as a metaphor for time and memory, while also playing games with the memory of the audience.
Dillon was inspired to write Nine Rivers by Rimbaud’s Le Bateau Ivre. Just as the boat in this famous poem crashes through the river towards the ocean, Dillon’s music moves from weightless hyperactivity through bleak horror to Wagnerian grandeur in a long, continuous, ever evolving ritual.
Tickets €30 - 22.50, students/CJP €17.50 all categories. Running time 6 hours including intervals. Introduction from 4.15.Please note this concert starts at Muziekgebouw aan't IJ then moves to Bimhuis for Part II at 6.30 - 7.30 and 8 - 9pm.

| Pumphouse, Aldeburgh, Aldeburgh IP15 5HQ, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 06:00pm Cabaret Songs Could Britten’s delightful foray into popular song have been early coded love letters to the man with whom he was to share the rest of his life? Eight decades on, Conor Mitchell’s new settings of new Mark Ravenhill lyrics capture and embellish the atmosphere of heady excitement, emotional anxiety and inevitable heartache of a blossoming love affair. Originally written for an actress, Britten’s cabaret songs are given new life by Jamie McDermott, charismatic vocalist of quirky and theatrical indie band, The Irrepressibles, His sultry falsetto brings new colour and poignancy to a radical re-imagining of Britten’s originals, sung alongside new Mitchell settings of song lyrics that Auden intended for Britten but were never used, and a brand new set of cabaret songs they’ve inspired. | ||

| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 07:30pm Sibelius Symphony Cycle: Symphonies 4 & 2 Jean Sibelius was a man of extremes, in fact some would say that his darkest symphony is also his greatest. The Fourth Symphony stares into the bleakest corners of the human soul and finds a surprising strength. The Second could hardly be more different. From playful beginning to triumphant finish, there's never been a more inspiring musical portrait of a nation awakening to freedom than Sibelius' most popular symphony.The symphonies of Jean Sibelius are landmarks of 20th Century music. Rooted in the pride, nature and folklore of his native Finland, Sibelius wrestled personal demons and the turmoil of the twentieth century to forge seven masterpieces that redefined the symphony. With their soaring melodies, passionate emotions and majestic scale, they are as fresh, as powerful and as stirring as the Northern landscape itself. Nearly one hundred years later, they continue to inspire. Join the BBC Philharmonic as our Finnish Principal Guest Conductor John Storgårds takes us on his nation's greatest musical journey. This symphony cycle will also be recorded for Chandos Records. Tickets: £34, £27, £23, £19, £14, £10 | ||

It has additional resonance chords like the viola d’amore and its flat chevalet allows for playing in chords much like the viola da gamba. Five virtuosic soloists become a fabulous ensemble, make the stories hidden in their old instruments resonate and conjure up worlds of sound in the listener’s ear that make the borders between old and new music miraculously permeable. In German Elisabeth Seitz’ instrument is, rather crudely referred to as "chopping board" yet when she plays it, a baroque gavotte suddenly sounds as if dreamed under the midnight sun.
