| St Giles, Cripplegate, London, London EC2Y 8DA, United Kingdom Thursday 14-Nov-13 08:00pm Barbican Britten: Curlew River When Benjamin Britten first experienced the strange rituals of a Noh play he immediately saw the dramatic and musical potential of this very distinct form of Japanese drama. He used its clipped ceremony and masked interplay for his East Anglian drama Curlew River – a piece shot through with the strange, exotic sounds of bells, un-tuned drums, organ and chamber ensemble. For John Bridcut, curator of the Barbican’s Britten study day, Curlew River is a ‘once heard, never forgotten’ work. Ian Bostridge joins a specialist cast, the Britten Sinfonia and director Netia Jones for a new look at one of Britten’s most fascinating creations.

| St Giles, Cripplegate, London, London EC2Y 8DA, United Kingdom Wednesday 26-Mar-14 06:00pm Shostakovich, Stalin and Soviet Russia Taking as its starting-point Shostakovich’s much-quoted manifesto of his Fifth Symphony as “a Soviet artist’s creative response to justified criticism” this Singers at Six concert explores choral music from the period both by composers who stayed in Soviet Russia and learnt to survive under the system, as well as those who chose to leave and take their chance abroad. Music by Sviridov, Grechaninov, Chesnokov, Kastalsky and others – a chance to hear some gems from a little-known corner of the choral repertoire. Tickets £10. Works by Sviridov, Georgy (1915-1998) Works by Chesnokov, Pavel (1877-1944) Works by Kastalsky, Alexander (1856-1926) Works by Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975) | ||

| St Giles, Cripplegate, London, London EC2Y 8DA, United Kingdom Friday 9-May-14 06:00pm BBC Singers at Six Hungary boasts long traditions of fine choral singing and training – especially through the pioneering work of composer-educationists such as Zoltan Kodaly. The choral repertoire in this part of Eastern Europe is highly-developed too and in this concert James Morgan pilots the BBC Singers through a concert giving a bird’s-eye-view of this fascinating but – in England – seldom-heard music, with choral works by Kodály, Bartók, Ligeti and lesser-known composers such Levente Gyöngyösi and Miklós Kocsár.
