| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Friday 24-May-13 06:30pm Robertson leads Ravel and Gershwin Ravel, who heard jazz in Harlem with Gershwin, was dumbfounded by the dazzling Rhapsody in Blue, which Gershwin played at a birthday party for the French composer. When Gershwin asked to study with him, Ravel said "It is better to write good Gershwin than bad Ravel." The jazz-influenced Concerto for the Left Hand was written for a pianist grievously injured during the First World War. The dark undertones of La Valse, an homage to Viennese waltz, suggest a furious farewell to gentility in post-war Europe. Elliott Carter's powerful Variations for Orchestra, another 20th-century masterwork, opens the program. | ||

| Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Saturday 8-Jun-13 11:00am Aimard & Aimard With his sister Valérie, Aldeburgh’s Artistic Director plays the music of his predecessor in a celebration of four of the twentieth century’s most distinctive voices, but reveals some surprising similarities.
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… | ||

Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh Epigrams: Tribute to Elliott Carter Aldeburgh Festival |

| Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Aldeburgh, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jun-13 06:00pm Epigrams: Tribute to Elliott Carter The music of Elliott Carter, who died in November, has been, and will remain a constant presence at Aimard’s Aldeburgh Festivals. With Oliver Knussen,
another musician linked so closely with this modern master, he discusses the man and his music and presents glittering chamber music miniatures from
the last two years of his life, including the world premiere of his last ever work, a piano trio intended for Aldeburgh but left incomplete at his death. ‘By turns lyrical, dramatic, complex, amusing and poetic, this grand master of polyphony understood the challenges of his time and entertained us with great intelligence.’ - Pierre-Laurent Aimard | ||

Lindberg, New Work |

| 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 | ||

| Carnegie Hall: Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage, New York City, NY, New York City, NY, United States Sunday 13-Oct-13 03:00pm The MET Orchestra Having “triumphed at the Met in several Rossini roles” (The Classical Review), Joyce DiDonato joins The MET Orchestra on the Carnegie Hall stage “to demonstrate her coloratura wizardry with dazzling runs, trills, and roulades” (The New York Times) in another of Rossini’s works—his dramatic cantata that runs the gamut of technical and emotional demands. Also on the program are arias from Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito, as well as works that showcase a wide range of orchestral color and virtuosity by Beethoven, Carter, and Verdi.

Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam Nieuw Ensemble |
|

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Thursday 13-Feb-14 08:15pm Nieuw Ensemble Een ode aan twee grote componisten die ons in 2012 ontvielen: de Brit Jonathan Harvey en de Amerikaan Elliott Carter. De vergankelijkheid staat centraal: Carters prachtige liedcyclus Tempo e Tempi is gecomponeerd op teksten van de Italiaanse dichters Ungaretti en Quasimodo die aan het verstrijken van tijd refereren. Jonathan Harvey's Death of Light/Light of Death is gebaseerd op het indrukwekkende Issenheimer altaarstuk van de middeleeuwse Duitse schilder Matthias Grünewald.
Over Grünewalds beroemde schilderij merkte Harvey op: 'Een kruisiging heeft er nog nooit zo verpletterend uitgezien. Al het licht lijkt te zijn verdwenen.’ Het doel van muziek is volgens Harvey het wezen van het lijden te openbaren en te genezen. Niet minder dan de ultieme vraag van het bestaan. De muziek van Harvey en Carter wordt geflankeerd door het korte, fenomenale strijktrio van Webern en een nieuw werk van geestverwant Brian Ferneyhough.

Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam Arditti Quartet + Sarah Maria Sun - Aan het front van de hedendaagse muziek |

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 8-Mar-14 08:15pm Arditti Quartet + Sarah Maria Sun - Aan het front van de hedendaagse muziek Al jaren speelt het Arditti Quartet aan het front van de hedendaagse muziek. Geen partituur is te
ingewikkeld, geen noot onspeelbaar. Zonder enig probleem brengt het viertal de complexiteit van de
Amerikaanse componist Elliott Carter – in 2012 overleden op 103-jarige leeftijd – de directheid van
Andriessen en de veelzijdigheid van Zorn.
Het is misschien verrassend dat het Arditti Quartet met een nieuw werk van John Zorn komt. Het kwartet
heeft altijd het muzikale modernisme dat voortvloeide uit het werk van Schönberg en Webern omarmd. Zorn
schuwt juist de geïmproviseerde jazz niet. Zijn werk kent invloeden van post-punk, klezmer en de betere
popmuziek. Een bijzondere ontmoeting.
