| National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, United Kingdom Friday 9-Aug-13 10:00am Cybraphon We fully expect the emotion meter of Cybraphon, the autonomous emotional robot band in a box, to go off the scale this August. Cybraphon obsessively googles itself every 15 seconds to see how popular it is. The results affect its emotional state which in turn affects its playing style. Twenty-five antique instruments and 60 robotic actuators then play music that FOUND has composed for each emotion. Cybraphon is desperate for your attention. To cheer it up, like it on Facebook, follow it on Twitter, write about it on your blog, post a photo of it online, or mention it in a tweet. The artist collective FOUND, which created this veritable diva of a vitrine, has gifted Cybraphon to the nation. To mark the Edinburgh International Festival it joins the permanent collection of the National Museum of Scotland and goes on display by the Millennium Clock in the Grand Gallery. The BAFTA-winning automaton was commissioned by New Media Scotland. Image credit: FOUND | ||

| St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Stratford, ON, 25 St Andrew Street, Ontario, Stratford N5A 1A2, Canada Friday 9-Aug-13 11:15am Jan Lisiecki ![]() All 3 Recitals for $89 by calling 519.271.2101 or toll-free 1.866.288.4313 Jan Lisiecki presents three unique concerts developed from his personal exploration of the music of Frédéric Chopin and, in particular, his recording the 24 glorious Chopin Études as his recently released Deutsche Grammophon CD, a disc which Jan will be pleased to autograph at the conclusion of each concert. Over the three days we will hear the complete 24 Études. Each day, Jan will discuss how a composer’s creativity - in this case the 24 Études of Opus 10 and Opus 12 – inspires and, in turn, leads a performer to his own interpretations of the music. By speaking to, and demonstrating, various analyses and readings of the music...culminating in the choices and approaches he has concluded for his recording...this outstanding young pianist will provide a very personal insight into how he feels the music and how the journey he takes upon himself becomes an experience for us, his audiences and his listeners. The Chopin Études are among the most celebrated musical works ever created. Like most “new” music that lives beyond its early years and premiere performances, these Études were controversial when they were first played; their most severe critics even labelled them radical and revolutionary. The technical challenges and the keyboard mastery that they demand of any pianist, along with the beauty of the music itself, have made them audience favourites. Image credit: V.Tony Hauser | ||

Following a swift recovery, studies continued at the Conservatoire de Montpellier, the Conservatorio Musicale Luigi Boccherini di Lucca, and in Freiburg, Germany under the instruction of Florian Heilmann. Subsequently, academic endeavours brought him to the oldest co-educational boarding school in California, The Thacher School.
After graduating at 17, he devoted himself exclusively to music under the guidance of Val Underwood and Edward Francis. During the subsequent year, Bruno won the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic Concerto Competition, where he appeared as soloist performing the Grieg Concerto. He was also awarded 3rd Prize at the California International Young Artists Competition, and placed 2nd at the American Protégé International Piano and Strings Competition.
In 2009, Bruno began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Professor Sulamita Aronovsky. Since then, he won the 2nd Prize in the Moray Piano Competition and was awarded the Douglas Cameron Prize at the Royal Academy of Music. Amongst other recent achievements, in 2011 Bruno won 1st Prize at the Brest International Piano Competition in France.
He has performed in the UK at Bolivar Hall, Queen Charlotte Hall for the inauguration of the Kew Music Festival, and at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, as well as internationally at venues such as the Merkin Concert Hall in New York, Le Chateau de Kergroadez in France and recently a most successful recital tour of Mexico where he performed at several prestigious venues including the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, Durango, Aguascalientes, Guadalajara, Sinaloa and also to an audience of 20,000 at the Explanada del Angel, Chihuahua.
Following his engagement with the Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra, he was also invited to perform Rachmaninov Concerto No.2 in France with the Orchestre Entre Sable et Ciel. His recent engagements include an enthusiastically received recital for the Mexican Week at the London School of Economics.Price type: Free | ||

Soprano Genia Kühmeier and mezzo-soprano Anna Larsson are the soloists in a work that begins with a depiction of a funeral procession and opens out into a vision of life after death. With allusions to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and klezmer melodies, its off-stage brass and percussion, and a grand choral climax, the symphony stands alone and unmissable.Tickets £14 - £57. | ||

The Easter Oratorio opens with a Sinfonia that pitches a trio of trumpets against consorts of woodwinds and strings, and a poignant Adagio for solo oboe. Scored for similar forces, the Ascension Oratorio features an alto aria that mirrors the curves of the Agnus Dei from Bach’s Mass in B minor. Sir John Eliot Gardiner, 70 this year, directs the internationally renowned Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists.Tickets £18 - £24. | ||
