Stravinsky Eight Instrumental Miniatures* Mozart Per pieta, non ricercate Stravinsky Dumbarton Oaks* John Woolrich Violin Concerto (London premiere)* There’s nothing like planning someone else’s party and tonight Britten Sinfonia is enjoying the celebrations for the 60th birthday of their close friend, collaborator, distinguished composer and programmer, John Woolrich. It’s a party befitting a key figure on the British music scene whose own take on Purcell and Wolf involves young soprano Sophie Bevan, who also brings a present of Mozart to the evening too. Woolrich himself is inspired by Monteverdi in his piece Ulysses Awakes for solo viola (Britten Sinfonia’s Clare Finnimore) and strings.

There’s playful Stravinsky and, finally, the main birthday present, the London premiere of Woolrich’s dynamic yet warmly lyrical Violin Concerto assured of a memorable performance by Britten Sinfonia’s own Thomas Gould.

6.15pm: Pre-concert event The young musicians of Britten Sinfonia Academy play pieces by John Woolrich alongside a discussion with the composer. (free to ticket holders)

Supported by the Friends of Britten Sinfonia.

Recognised as Denmark’s greatest composer, Carl Nielsen’s fondness for wind instruments is closely related to his love of nature, and in his quintet he attempted to emphasise the rustic characteristics of each instrument. He was inspired to write the quintet after hearing Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for wind and in the same vein Michael Berkeley’s Re-Inventions are based on the famous two part Inventions of JS Bach. Completing this lunchtime programme we hear the premiere of a new work by the winner of OPUS2014, Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall’s open call for submissions from unpublished composers.

Tuesday, 13 January 2015 1.00pm, West Road Concert Hall

Kaija Saariaho conjures sonic images of magnetic power through her music and Fauré and Debussy’s power of suggestion and gift of lyricism, colour and rhythm result in sound worlds that are both luminous and dazzling. In this programme we hear one of Debussy’s finest chamber works and Faure’s profound Piano Trio alongside Saariaho’s Nocturne for solo violin and a new piano trio commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall.

Sarah Connolly in America Sarah Connolly, mezzo-soprano (5) Jacqueline Shave, violin/director Carter Elegy for Strings Rodney Bennett A History of the Thé Dansant Copland Appalachian Spring Crawford Seeger Andante for Strings Copland Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson American music is something of a giant melting pot, an exhilarating blend of wide open spaces, dance rhythms, traditional hymn tunes, and jazz, with composers so often taking something of what was happening across the pond in Europe and carving out an identity of their own. Aaron Copland is for some listeners the father of American music, his ballet Appalachian Spring conjuring up a sound world to which so many other composers aspired, yet his admiration for the poet Emily Dickinson brings out a more intimate side to his writing, performed tonight by the acclaimed mezzo Sarah Connolly. Adding their voices to the American map tonight are the visionaries Eliot Carter and Ruth Crawford Seeger and surrogate New Yorker, Richard Rodney Bennett.

6.30pm: In Conversation Sarah Connolly discusses the programme.

EVENING CONCERT TICKETS: £30, £25, £15.

THE ENDELLION STRING QUARTET Andrew Watkinson, violin Ralph de Souza, violin Garfield Jackson, viola David Waterman, cello Wednesday, 15 October 2014 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Wednesday, 12 November 2014 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall Haydn String Quartet Op. 64 No. 6 Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 Mendelssohn String Quartet Op. 44 No. 1 This concert will be in aid of ‘Help for Heroes’.

Haydn String Quartet Op. 76 No. 5 Schubert String Quartet in A minor (‘Rosamunde’) Smetana String Quartet No. 1 (‘From My Life’) We begin the series with an effervescent late Haydn gem and then plunge into the darker worlds of Schubert and Smetana. The Schubert ‘Rosamunde’ has long been a favourite in the repertoire, and Smetana’s autobiographical First Quartet charts the progress of his life from carefree youth to a maturity when he was plagued (like Beethoven) by tinnitus.

Shostakovich wrote his Eighth Quartet ‘in remembrance of the victims of fascism and war’.

The Soviet authorities may have taken this to refer to World War II but he clearly intended it as a universal message. Its tragic power and directness of message are breathtaking and a huge contrast to the lyricism and wit of Haydn and the energy and brilliance of Mendelssohn.

Wednesday, 21 January 2015 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall Beethoven String Quartet Op. 18 No. 3 Janáček String Quartet No. 1 (‘Kreutzer Sonata’) Schubert String Quartet in G, D. 887 Schubert’s Quartet in G is designed on a superhuman scale. Its titanic struggle between major and minor, and hope and despair, create awe-inspiring music.

In comparison the first of Janáček’s two quartets is brief, but with his unique tonality and idiom, and the introduction of ‘stream of consciousness’ music, he also sparked a musical revolution.

TICKETS: £26, £24 (OAP), £12 (registered disabled), £5 (students and under 16s). Tickets over £10 will incur a £2.50 booking fee, and those under £10 will incur a £1.50 fee.

Wednesday, 26 November 2014 8.00pm, Jesus College Chapel

Mary of Egypt by John Tavener (UK Première)

Semele by George Frederick Handel

Camilla Seale, soprano Susie Self, alto Nick Doig, bass

Composed in just a month, Semele contains some of Handel’s most inventive and delightful music.

The daughter of the King of Thebes, Semele is betrothed to the prince of Boeotia, but is secretly in love with Jupiter, king of the gods. Her sister Ino has fallen in love with the prince, but Jupiter’s wife Juno is determined to take revenge on the mortals.

Handel tried to disguise this ‘glittering stone dug from the ruins of Greek mythology’ as an oratorio in order that it be included in the Theatre Royal’s 1744 Lenten concert series. CUOS present the first semistaged performance of Semele, fully orchestrated and sung in English, in the beautiful surroundings of Jesus College Chapel.

The prostitute of Alexandra, Mary, is cast into the wilderness for spiritual contemplation. In the arid desert, Mary and Zossima, a holy man, find in each other a kind of spiritual ecstasy.

The simplicity of Tavener’s music contrasts starkly with the theology of the desert fathers in all its searing compassion, now staged in the majestic surroundings of King’s Chapel, Cambridge.

TICKETS: £18 (£10) available from The Shop at King’s Tuesday, 4 – Saturday, 8 November 2014 7.45pm, Fitzpatrick Hall, Queens’ College

Albert Herring by Benjamin Britten Lady Billows is organising the annual May Day festival and is desperate to find girls for the coveted position of Queen of the May. However, it turns out none of the girls in the village are virgins – disqualifying them. Thus, Lady Billows and Superintendent Budd decide to select a May King instead of a May Queen.

Albert Herring, a virgin, is the perfect candidate. He is crowned May King at the fete. But, feeling ridiculed, jealous of his colleague, Sid’s relationship with Nancy and drunk from a spiked drink, he heads out into the wide world. The town assumes he is dead, and are deep in tragic mourning when Albert finally, and most comically, returns to their great surprise and frustration.

Mark-Anthony Turnage (1) A composer of truly international stature, MarkAnthony Turnage is among the most relevant communicators and creators of today. His orchestral and operatic music is often forthright and confrontational, unafraid to mirror the realities of modern life, yet its energy is exhilarating. With his flair for vivid titles, and his complete absorption of jazz elements into a contemporary classical style, Turnage produces work with a strong appeal to an enquiring, often young audience. At the same time his music is capable of expressing deep tenderness, especially emotions associated with loss.

Jennifer Walshe (2) Jennifer Walshe was born in Dublin in 1974. She studied composition with John Maxwell Geddes at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Kevin Volans in Dublin and graduated from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) with a doctoral degree in composition in June 2002.

Her chief teachers at Northwestern were Amnon Wolman and Michael Pisaro. In 2003–4 Walshe was a fellow of Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart; during 2004–5 she lived in Berlin as a guest of the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm. From 2006 to 2008 she was the composer-in-residence in South Dublin County for In Context 3. In 2007 she was awarded a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New York. In 2008 she was awarded the Praetorius Music Prize for Composition by the Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur.

Jennifer Walshe is currently Reader in Music at Brunel University.

John Hopkins on the Music of Claude Vivier (3)

Karen Sunabacka (5)

The music of Claude Vivier is a reflection of his personal life. Although he was a student of Stockhausen, Vivier ignored the avant-garde dictum against the expression of individuality through music. Both directly and indirectly, the themes of his compositions were inspired by his unknown family origins, his search for his mother, his religious vocation, and his homosexuality. The forty-nine works composed during his brief career comprise the impressive legacy of an individual as passionate about life as he was about music.

Tuesday, 18 November 2014 2.00pm, Recital Room at the Faculty of Music

Frank Denyer (4) Born in London in 1943, Denyer became a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral at the age of ten, the director of the experimental music ensemble Mouth of Hermes in London at the age of twenty-five, and a Doctoral student in ethnomusicology at Wesleyan University, Connecticut at the age of thirty.
