| Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, Oxford OX1 3AZ, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm The Dawn of the Stradivarius In association with The Ashmolean Museum’s extraordinary forthcoming exhibition of the world's finest Stradivarius instruments, Music at Oxford is proud to present this collaborative concert.
Canadian virtuoso and Stradivarius player James Ehnes will perform unaccompanied music by Bach and Paganini on a number of Stradivarius violins and discuss what's unique about them and the sound they produce. This will be the first time one player has ever had the opportunity to do so in a concert setting. Award-winning period ensemble La Serenissima will follow this by performing a programme of music from the age of Stradivarius by Vivaldi, Valentini and their contemporaries.
This event will open the exhibition, a fascinating exploration of the master maker's work featuring the largest collection of Stradivarius instruments ever assembled as well as audiovisual footage featuring James Ehnes.

| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 07:30pm Holst's The Planets Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts two of the greatest classics of English music. Holst’s The Planets is a marvellously evocative depiction of astrological influences, whilst Elgar’s Violin Concerto contains some of the composer’s most intimate and personal music, shot through with nostalgia for a passing Edwardian age. | ||

| Bedford Corn Exchange, Bedford MK40 1SL, United Kingdom Sunday 16-Jun-13 07:30pm Ashkenazy conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in Bedford Elgar’s epic Violin Concerto was composed for the celebrated Viennese virtuoso Fritz Kreisler, who shortly before giving the 1910 world première in London vowed “I will shake the Queen’s Hall!” He obviously had the desired effect as according to one reviewer, “for a quarter of an hour they called and recalled the man [Elgar] who had achieved a triumph not only for himself, but also for England, and hailed him as master and hero.” Elgar’s own opinion was that “It’s good! Awfully emotional! Too emotional...but I love it.” Beethoven’s passion was for the countryside. “You ask me where my ideas come from” he once noted, “they come to me in the open air, in the woods, while walking, in the silence of the night, early in the morning”. The Pastoral Symphony, with its unambiguously bucolic movement titles, is the composer’s attempt to set these sounds and scenes in notes on paper. | ||
