A world-renowned speaker and author of ten books, Swami Parthasarathy (or Swamiji as he is affectionately called) is acclaimed by TIME, Aspen Ideas Festival and Young Presidents’ Organisation as one of the greatest thinkers of the modern generation.
Laure Chan baroque violin Anna Euen horn Jonny Hollick trumpet Will Morley trombone Emily Jennings soprano Liam Crangle piano Maria Gilicel violin Paula Sanz Alasa violin Marsailidh Groat Hardy viola Zoe Saubat cello
Having earned three college degrees and post-graduation in Law from London University, at the age of 26 Swamiji renounced the life of his lucrative family business and Rolls Royce and dedicated himself to the study, research and propagation of Vedanta, the ancient philosophy of the Himalayas.
From Baroque dance to Bohemian sonatas, an exploration of Austro-Hungarian themes in chamber music by Biber, Janáček and Poulenc in the first of the RCM’s Cadogan Hall concerts this summer.
This thought-provoking talk provides a framework for achieving clarity, mental peace and success in your business and family life. We are privileged indeed to hear Swamiji speak on the very day he turns 90.
Also performed are James MacMillan’s atmospheric settings of poems in Scottish and English.

Elgar Introduction and Allegro Sibelius Violin Concerto Sibelius The Bard Elgar Enigma Variations Pekka Kuusisto violin Vladimir Ashkenazy conductor Sibelius and Elgar both derived inspiration from their immediate surroundings. Sibelius’s Violin Concerto is imbued with the craggy landscapes of his beloved Finland, while Elgar quotes a Welsh song he’d heard on holiday within his Introduction and Allegro, in which a string quartet is pitted against a string orchestra. The Bard is the briefest and perhaps most elusive of Sibelius’s tone-poems, relying on the prominent use of a harp to suggest ancient story-telling. Elgar’s Enigma Variations is rather more specific, nothing less than a series of character sketches depicting the composer’s friends.

Liszt Mephisto Waltz No. 1 Richard Miller The Enraged Musician (world premiere) Martinů La revue de cuisine Dvořák Piano Quintet in A, Op. 81
With Nabucco, first performed in 1842, Verdi’s great artistic career began. The story is loosely based on the Old Testament, though all the characters except Nabucco himself (Nebuchadnezzar) were inventions of his librettist. The famous chorus of the Hebrews in exile, Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate (Go, thought, on golden wings) is one of Verdi’s finest pieces of choral writing. It also encapsulated the feelings of the Italian people at the time about their long history of oppression and foreign rule. With three strong characters and a succession of brilliant choruses a new and exciting era of Italian opera began.

Chopin Nocturne No. 8 Barcarolle Mazurka, Op. 63 No. 3 Ballade No. 1 Étude No. 12 Polonaise in G minor Étude No. 7 Sonata No. 3 Berceuse
Currently celebrating his 50th year as a professional musician, keyboard player, songwriter and broadcaster, Rick Wakeman recently made chart history when his Piano Portraits album became the first solo piano album to enter the UK’s Top 10.
‘A noted Chopin exponent for many years… Sombart’s playing is superb: technically precise but possessing a flexibility and freedom that lets the music breathe.’ (The Observer, 2016) 200 years after the seven-year old Chopin wrote his first Polonaise, celebrated French pianist Elizabeth Sombart presents a selection of the composer's finest works for solo piano. By turns romantic, majestic and exhilarating, this programme will speak to both aficionados and those experiencing Chopin's music for the first time. Honoured in France for lifetime services to music, Elizabeth Sombart has performed in the most prestigious international concert venues and with the world's leading orchestras. Tickets: £27.50, £22.50, £18.50, £12.50 Concessions: £2 off ENCORE Members: £5 off top price tickets
Initially inspired by the unprecedented reaction to his performance of David Bowie’s Life On Mars on BBC Radio 2 in early 2016, Piano Portraits features instrumental versions of hits Rick originally performed on (Space Oddity, Morning Has Broken and Wondrous Stories) as well as others specifically chosen for their wonderful melodies, including Stairway To Heaven, Help and Eleanor Rigby. He has also added a selection of some of his favourite classical pieces (Berceuse, Clair de Lune and Swan Lake). The show will include at least eight of the pieces on the album, plus other musical surprises, and will be interspersed with hilarious anecdotes from this well-known and accomplished raconteur.

The internationally acclaimed Imperial Male Voice Choir invites you to celebrate its 40th anniversary with a glittering musical evening, accompanied by the Salomon Orchestra. Joining them for this special occasion is the award-winning soprano, Mary Bevan. The choir’s Musical Director, Deborah Miles-Johnson, has put together an eclectic programme including dramatic opera choruses, favourites from the shows, boisterous drinking songs contrasting with haunting folk-song arrangements and poignant arias.
Tonight’s concert opens with Manuel de Falla’s Danza ritual del fuego, a work brimming with pure excitement as a tale of a young gypsy girl’s frantic dance to lure the ghost of her jealous dead lover is illustrated. Next Maestro Tan Dun conducts Crouching Tiger Concerto – a work inspired from his Oscar-winning score. And the drama doesn’t end there, as cellist Jing Zhao performs Intercourse of Fire and Water, a work based on balance and precision, before the concert concludes with Britten’s electrifyingly depictive Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes.

Roland Perrin and The Blue Planet Orchestra Crouch End Festival Chorus Rachel Sutton jazz singer Allan Corduner narrator David Temple conductor Jazz composer and pianist Roland Perrin creates a vivid portrait of notorious New York mobster Meyer Lansky, dubbed ‘The Mob’s Accountant’. Perrin combines American and Latino jazz styles with Jewish Klezmer motifs, all of which conjure up the sounds of New York at the height of the jazz age and the steamy decadence of Havana in the 1950s. This is the second performance of Perrin’s work, commissioned and first performed by Crouch End Festival Chorus in 2015. It is complemented by the composer’s stylish arrangements of J.S. Bach for jazz trio and chorus.

Two of BBC Radio 3’s current New Generation Artists come together for a programme of chamber music spanning over 200 years. The Van Kuijk Quartet joins forces with clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe for Mozart’s lyrical Clarinet Quintet, whose expansive melodies and sunny A major key belie the struggles and sadnesses of his personal life. Webern’s Langsamer Satz (Slow Movement) is, by contrast, the ecstatic outpouring of a young man in love, happier than ever before and writing music once described as ‘Tristan and Isolde compressed into 11 minutes’. In his first string quartet, which today receives its world premiere, French composer and pianist Laurent Durupt explores contrasts both of musical material and musical time, and asks whether the differences are conflicting or complementary.

I Fagiolini Robert Hollingworth director There will be no interval
Who better to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth than I Fagiolini, who have spent a career unpicking the knotty conflicts and emotional truths of the composer’s music. The vocal ensemble is joined by strings, cornetts and continuo to explore love, lust, anger, jealousy and despair in a concert that spans the gamut of Monteverdi’s music, both sacred and secular. This season’s first Monday-lunchtime Prom at Cadogan Hall also includes the world premiere of a new commission from composer, baritone and Proms regular Roderick Williams, inspired by the text of a well-known aria from Mozart’s Don Giovanni.
Finnish folk music meets familiar Baroque textures in a programme exploring two genres with a shared love of song and dance. Soprano Anu Komsi and violinist Kreeta-Maria Kentala both have family roots in the folk-rich municipality of Kaustinen, Western Finland. They are joined by fellow boundary-crossing musicians for a whistle-stop journey through Finnish musical history encompassing the 16th-century Piae cantiones (the earliest printed book of Finnish music) and the 19th-century national folk epic, the Kalevala, which so inspired Sibelius. The concert also features favourites by Corelli and other Baroque composers, as well as folk songs from Kaustinen and music by Kreeta Haapasalo (1813–93), who was born in the region.

Still in his early twenties, French cellist Edgar Moreau is already making his mark with the exuberant virtuosity of his playing. Here he joins the Baroque ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro for a programme focusing on 18th-century concertos. Charged with all the rhetorical and emotional intensity of opera arias, these wonderfully expressive and colourful works range from the fretful melancholy of Vivaldi’s Cello Concerto in A minor to the poised elegance of Boccherini’s Concerto in D major and the irrepressible joy of Platti’s Concerto in D major.

‘Our family discussed the Revolution of 1905 constantly … The stories deeply affected my imagination.’ Born in the shadow of one of Russia’s darkest hours – the slaughter of over 1,000 peaceful protesters outside the Winter Palace in St Petersburg – Shostakovich carried its ghosts with him throughout his life. They are given voice here in a concert that brings together the wordless songs of the composer’s Preludes and Fugues with the more explicit homage of the Ten Poems on Texts by Revolutionary Poets. In the last of its three appearances this season, the Latvian Radio Choir is joined by Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov.

Elias String Quartet Alice Neary cello There will be no interval
Schubert’s final chamber work is a piece of sublime beauty, a masterpiece of the repertoire composed only two months before the composer’s death at the age of just 31. Instead of the additional viola preferred by Mozart and Beethoven in their string quintets, Schubert adds a second cello, to create a work of sonorous beauty. From its expansive opening Allegro and the fragile beauty of the Adagio to its exuberant Scherzo and good-humoured closing Allegretto, this is a work of boundless invention and charm. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Elias String Quartet are joined by cellist Alice Neary.
On the day of the concert, tickets can be bought from 10.00am at Cadogan Hall only.

Candide in Concert
Curtis Stigers with the Ronnie Scott's Big Band
London Musical Theatre Orchestra
performs 'Sinatra at the Sands' Freddie Tapner conductor After a sell-out season in 2016, the London Musical Theatre Orchestra returns to Cadogan Hall for its latest concert performance of Candide. With a score by legendary composer Leonard Bernstein, Candide tells the story of Candide, the bastard cousin of Baron Thunder-Ten-Tonck, who is expelled from home, dragged into the Bulgarian army, brought before the Spanish Inquisition, swindled out of a fortune, shipwrecked on a desert isle, and separated time and again from his true love Cunegonde. She, too, bears a barrage of misfortunes including, sale into prostitution, forced marriage to an exorbitantly wealthy man, and slavery. Through it all, however, they try to hold onto the lessons of their dear master Dr. Pangloss: ‘Everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds’.
Curtis Stigers channels the hip, swinging chemistry of Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra. Internationally acclaimed US vocalist Curtis Stigers is returning to the U.K. after recording his most recent album One More For The Road. Both the album and the tour are in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Sinatra at the Sands. Curtis brings the sensational show to Cadogan Hall, having already sold out eight shows at Ronnie Scott’s this summer. Fitting then, that this show sees Curtis joining forces with the U.K.’s favourite, the world famous, and absolutely masterful Ronnie Scott’s Big Band. Together they perform his very own renditions of the Sinatra classics. Expect a brilliantly produced show performed by world-class musicians. This rare occasion is sure to be a highlight of the year.
With a book from Hugh Wheeler and lyrical contributions from the incomparable Stephen Sondheim, Candide is a masterpiece for the ages.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo The joyous and uplifting musical voices of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, referred to by Nelson Mandela as ‘South Africa’s cultural ambassadors’ marry the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their Zulu traditions to the sounds and sentiments of gospel music. The result is a musical and spiritual alchemy that has touched a worldwide audience ever since Paul Simon first introduced them to the world with the Graceland album. The group sing in a joyously energetic performance that combines powerful choruses, softer, almost whispering chants where voices blend harmoniously, and tightly-choreographed dance moves. ‘Gorgeous harmonies from the South African vocal ensemble, best known for their work with Paul Simon on Graceland. Though they sing entirely a cappella, their songs have a rhythmic spring, and their dance moves are light-footed and elegant’ (Daily Telegraph).
