Wagner Overture from Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg Sibelius Violin Concerto Nielsen Symphony No. 2, ‘The Four Temperaments’ Nathan Mierdl violin Stephen Brearley conductor The Doctors’ Orchestra The Doctors’ Orchestra, playing once again in support of Freedom from Torture, presents a largely Nordic programme featuring works by Sibelius and Nielsen. The brilliant young virtuoso Nathan Mierdl, a multiple prize-winner including in the 2018 Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition, joins the Orchestra in Sibelius’ rhapsodic and unmistakably Finnish Concerto, of which Tovey wrote, ‘I have not met with a more original, a more masterly and a more exhilarating work than this.’ Nielsen’s Second Symphony, written four years before the Sibelius, wittily portrays the four classical temperaments – choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic and sanguine – but in colourful and truly symphonic style. These two works are preceded by Wagner’s glorious, if not Nordic, Overture to The Mastersingers. Tickets: £32, £25, £15

The Tallis Scholars Lamentations

Maren Bosma violin Bath Festival Orchestra Peter Manning conductor Mendelssohn Overture ‘The Hebrides’ Grażyna Bacewicz Contradizione I & II Beethoven Violin Concerto To begin tonight’s concert, imagine yourself transported to the Hebridean coast where the glistening, pristine beauty of the landscape contrasts with the awesome power and drama of the Atlantic waves in Mendelssohn’s timelessly elegant portrait of Scotland’s rugged beauty. Next is Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz’s Contradizione I & II. These playful, shimmering percussion showcases feature weird and wonderful contrasts and contradictions of both instruments and playing techniques that will keep your ears on their toes. A loner in Beethoven’s extraordinarily prolific output, the Violin Concerto was nearly consigned to obscurity until Mendelssohn and a 12-year-old violin prodigy revived it at a concert in London in 1844. And we should be very glad they did!

White Lamentations I Nico Muhly No Resting Place (world premiere) Fayrfax Ave dei patris Tallis Lamentations I Byrd Tribue domine The Tallis Scholars Peter Phillips director The overarching theme of this concert is settings of the Lamentations, enabling Peter Phillips and the acclaimed Tallis Scholars vocal ensemble to programme two of the greatest Renaissance settings, by Thomas Tallis and Robert White. It also provides a great opportunity to give the world premiere of a major new commission by Nico Muhly. Taking Britten’s War Requiem as his model, Muhly has interwoven the words of people who, for whatever reason, have found themselves in exile, along with the words of the Israelites, who were equally driven into exile. The remainder of the programme features music by William Byrd and Robert Fayrfax. ‘This reviewer is running out of superlatives for the music itself and for this choir’s performances of it’ Early Music Review Tickets: £37.50, £33.50, £30.50, £25.50, £19.50 ENCORE members: 10% off Group discounts available

Ricky Ross

Michael Palin

Short Stories Vol. 2

From North Korea into Iraq

Ricky Ross, songwriter and lead singer of Deacon Blue, one of Scotland’s best-loved and most successful bands, returns to the stage this autumn with his solo tour in support of his brand new album, Short Stories Vol. 2.

Monty Python legend and intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin brings tales of two of the most extraordinary journeys he’s ever made to the stage this autumn in a new solo tour, From North Korea Into Iraq.

With Ricky at the piano, he will be presenting songs from across his entire career and sharing stories from his forthcoming autobiography Walking Back Home.

From North Korea Into Iraq will see Michael deliver first-hand accounts of journeys through two countries on the dark side of history, both named by President George Bush as being part of the ‘Axis of Evil’. Using photos and film shot at the time, he will tell the story of his challenging adventures in the tightly controlled time bomb that is the People’s Republic of North Korea, and the bruised land of Iraq, once the home of civilisation, torn apart over the last 30 years by brutal war and bloodshed.

Ricky Ross formed Deacon Blue in Glasgow and 2022 sees the 35th anniversary of the release of their debut album Raintown. A string of bestsellers followed it, leading to over seven million album sales and hits including ‘Real Gone Kid’, ‘Dignity’ and ‘I’ll Never Fall In Love Again’. Ricky Ross said: ‘I’ve always been interested in telling stories. Most of the stories have become songs but some stories take a little longer. A couple of years ago I started to write down some longer memories which didn’t fit as snugly into verses or choruses. I hope people might enjoy the stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them down.’

These two countries are often portrayed as international pariahs, and two of the last places you’d want to visit, but for Michael, the best part of travelling is looking behind the headlines and getting to know what life is really like for the people who live there. Tickets: £39.50, £32.50, £29.50

Misha Kaploukhii piano James Blair conductor Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra

The European Doctors Orchestra returns to Cadogan Hall for its first UK performance since the COVID-19 pandemic, raising money for the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund. The concert opens with the rousing Orb and Sceptre march written for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

The Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra brings together outstanding young players from across the UK who are on the threshold of their orchestral careers. Every professional orchestra in the British Isles contains alumni of YMSO, many of whom are section principals.

Hyeyoon Park, the youngest winner of the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, joins the orchestra to perform Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto which premiered to international acclaim in 1955. The Passacaglia is the most famous movement, concluding with a heartfelt cadenza ideally suited to the soloist’s outstanding style and virtuosity.

YMSO is delighted to return to Cadogan Hall for the opening concert of its 2022/23 season. Franz Lehár’s light-hearted overture to his operetta The Merry Widow opens the concert, before soloist Misha Kaploukhii joins the Orchestra to perform Rachmaninov’s First Piano Concerto – a concise tour de force. Elgar’s magisterial Symphony No. 1 brings the evening to a compelling conclusion.

The concert ends with Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique, written during the early Romantic period in 1830 when the composer himself was under the influence of opium, musicallydepicting the full spectrum of human emotion.

Tickets: £25, £20, £15 Students and Senior Citizens: half price (offer not available online, please call the box office)

Now, join him for this exclusive live event as he shares compelling stories and anecdotes from his life and career to celebrate the publication of his memoir Playing Under the Piano – from plotting to dispose of his big sister at the age of seven, to working alongside an invisible bear with a penchant for marmalade. In conversation, Hugh paints a brilliantly vivid picture of a career on stage and screen, taking us through his break as Third Shepherd in the school nativity play, navigating Highclere Castle’s complex Labrador policies, and mistaking a Hollywood star for an estate agent.

Birthday Gala

Joyful Company of Singers Peter Broadbent conductor The Joyful Company of Singers celebrate the 75th birthday of their founder conductor Peter Broadbent and his award of an MBE in 2022.

What is it like working with Judi Dench and Julia Roberts, or playing Robert de Niro’s right leg, or not being Gary Oldman, twice? Hugh talks with poignancy about his father’s dementia and of his mother, whose life in the secret service only emerged after her death.

Known for their virtuosity, intensity of spirit and an astoundingly wide repertoire, JCS appearances have included many leading UK festivals and performances in tours across Europe, and they have been broadcast by the BBC and Classic FM as well as overseas.

A naturally gifted and uproariously funny storyteller, an evening with Hugh promises to be richly entertaining.

Peter Broadbent is a leading choral conductor, giving workshops throughout Europe. In 2017 he received the Knight’s Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit for fostering Anglo-Hungarian cultural ties.

Soweto Gospel Choir

Mozart: ‘Great’ Mass in C minor

Freedom

Mozart Ave Verum Corpus Mozart Symphony No. 36, ‘Linz’ Mozart ‘Great’ Mass in C minor

Three-time Grammy Award winners, including 2019 Best World Music Album for its latest album Freedom, a collection of songs that celebrate and commemorate South Africa’s democratic movement’s struggle for freedom, Soweto Gospel Choir now brings its “Freedom” concert to the UK, its first visit here in 12 years.

Jessica Cale soprano Bethany Partridge soprano Nathan Vale tenor Laurence Williams baritone London Concert Choir Counterpoint ensemble Mark Forkgen conductor Mozart’s C-minor Mass was composed as a thanksgiving for his marriage and a showcase for the talents of his wife, the soprano Constanze Weber, who was a soloist in the first performance in 1783 in Salzburg. Although what has survived is an incomplete setting of the Mass, the unfinished work is considered a masterpiece of church music, which has been described as Mozart’s ‘entirely personal coming to terms with God and his art’. Symphony No. 36, one of the sunniest and most life-affirming of all the later symphonies, is on a grand scale. Mozart produced it at breakneck speed for a concert in the town of Linz, where he and Constanze stayed on the way home from Salzburg to Vienna. The poignant devotional motet Ave Verum Corpus (Hail, True Body) was written for the Feast of Corpus Christi in June 1791, only six months before Mozart’s death. 14

Tickets: £30, £25, £20, £16, £12

Hailing from Soweto (South West Township), a town outside Johannesburg and home of Nelson Mandela and South Africa’s democratic movement, Soweto Gospel Choir continues to inspire audiences around the world with its powerful blend of African gospel, freedom songs, and international classics. In this uplifting and joyous repertoire, the Choir performs a rousing program of freedom songs celebrating the life of the father of their Rainbow Nation, Nelson Mandela, as well as international gospel classics including a spine-tingling take on Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ and an extraordinary rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ which has had over 15 million views on YouTube. Don’t miss the spectacular Soweto Gospel Choir live! ‘Soweto Gospel Choir is nothing less than an international treasure.

Julia Doyle soprano Ciara Hendrick mezzo-soprano Graham Neal tenor Philip Tebb bass English Chamber Choir English Players The English Chamber Choir sang its first concert in March 1972 and rapidly established a reputation for performing music from across the centuries, from Thomas Tallis to Benjamin Britten, from the Eastern Orthodox tradition to American post-romantic, as well as with ‘popular’ music artists such as Vangelis, Rick Wakeman and The Who. In its 50th anniversary year the Choir is performing a number of concerts which reflect this diversity. This concert features two of the best-loved works of Bach and Handel, performed together with its own orchestra, the English Players, on period instruments. Dixit Dominus was composed when Handel was visiting Italy in his early years and is full of the exuberance which so characterised his early works written in Latin. Bach’s Magnificat is equally joyous, and one of his more festive pieces – maybe a smaller but equally perfectly-formed companion to his great Mass in B Minor.

Gemma New conductor Alena Baeva violin Royal Philharmonic Orchestra The great symphonic soundscapes of Tchaikovsky’s orchestral music are closely tied to the theme of ‘Fate’, and the full emotional weight of this motif is heard at its strongest in his Symphony No. 5. Composed ten years after his Fourth Symphony and, despite the composer’s own doubts, it displays Tchaikovsky’s brilliant orchestration and his ability to weave in the folk songs of his homeland. The Symphony culminates with the ultimate triumph of hope in its explosive final movement. Shostakovich’s Second Violin Concerto, performed by soloist Alena Baeva, is reflective of the composer’s music from his later life. The violin takes a confessional and understated tone for much of the piece, and in the instrument’s solo cadenzas the Concerto becomes engulfed in questions of mortality. ‘Baeva was a magnetic presence, and the sound of her instrument, the fullness of tone, and her marvelously precise intonation were admirable and beautiful in and of themselves’ New York Classical Review Tickets: £45, £42, £35, £25, £15 ENCORE members: £5 off top three ticket prices Series and group discounts available

Chelsea Opera Group Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice

Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice Caitlin Hulcup Orfeo Fflur Wyn Euridice Chloe Morgan Amore Chelsea Opera Group Chorus and Orchestra Gary Matthewman conductor The myth of Orpheus and his lute takes centre stage in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice (1762). The first of Gluck’s ‘reform’ operas, Orfeo was written for Vienna’s Burgtheater and marked a new era in the composer’s career. Gluck rejected the excesses of opera seria and aimed for a new vocal simplicity while drawing on the orchestral sophistication and rich dance music of French tragédie lyrique. Praised by later figures from Berlioz to Wagner, the opera’s innovative use of declamation and its magnificent orchestration made it a touchstone for generations of composers who sought to return opera to its poetic roots. A concert performance in Italian with English surtitles. 5.45pm: Pre-performance talk (for ticket holders only). Please note start time. Recommended age: 7+. Tickets: £38, £33, £25.50, £15

Join critically acclaimed author and explorer Levison Wood as he takes to the stage for his third UK tour, The Art of Exploration.

Robert Pepper OBE conductor Gabriele Strata piano English Schools’ Orchestra

In this entertaining two-hour one-man show, Levison shares his experiences and learnings from a lifetime of travel, from his army career and the frontlines of Afghanistan to his photojournalism assignments in the Congo and Nepal, as well as world-renowned expeditions through some of the most testing environments on earth, including the Nile, Himalayas and the Arabian peninsula. Levison will reveal the lessons he has learned on the road and how we can all benefit from applying the philosophy of travel and the Art of Exploration to our normal everyday routines, so we can achieve a positive mindset and get things done.

The English Schools’ Orchestra is delighted to return to the Hall for its 27th annual concert. This year’s exciting programme opens with Elgar’s In the South (Alassio), a lively and cheerful concert overture describing Elgar’s visit to Alassio in Italy during the winter of 1903-04. After the Italian theme of the opening piece, the Orchestra is delighted to be joined by Italian pianist Gabriele Strata to perform Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini. This singlemovement piece is a set of variations based on Paganini’s theme and has become a favourite for audiences since Rachmaninov first performed as the soloist in November 1934. Finally, the Orchestra performs Stravinsky’s masterpiece The Rite of Spring. Famous for causing a riot at its premiere, this ground-breaking piece is being performed by the Orchestra for the first time in its history and promises to be an energetic end to a fantastic programme.

By sharing his fascinating anecdotes and honest experiences, along with photography and footage from his extensive travels, Levison hopes to inspire the audience to embark on their own journeys – whether through travel or day-to-day life. Tickets: £32.50, £27.50, £15

Fauré’s Suite from Pelléas et Mélisande combines sweet melodies with moments of suspense and subtly infuses details of the story, from hunting French horn calls to lilting string triplets representing Mélisande’s spinning wheel. The fairies and enchanted woodlands of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream captivated Mendelssohn from an early age, and he was inspired to write an Overture based on this beloved tale many years before the rest of the Incidental Music (which includes the famous Wedding March).
