ACADEMY OF ANCIENT MUSIC Saturday, 26 March 2016 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Thursday, 14 April 2016 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Lenten and Passiontide Cantatas

Vivaldi in Dresden

J.S. Bach Cantata No. 127: Herr Jesu Christ, wahr’ Mensch und Gott J.S. Bach Cantata No. 39: Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot J.S. Bach Cantata No. 182: Himmelskönig, sei willkommen

J.S. Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F major Vivaldi Concerto in G minor: per l’Orchestra di Dresda Telemann Concerto for three oboes and three violins in B flat major Vivaldi Concerto for violin, two oboes and two horns in D major J.S. Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major

Bernard Labadie, conductor Choir of the AAM Over the course of his lifetime Johann Sebastian Bach composed more than 200 sacred cantatas, a staggering body of work which remains to this day at the very heart of the composer’s most significant and celebrated output.

Writing for congregations in Mühlhausen, Weimar, Köthen and Leipzig between 1707 and 1745, Bach would often complete a new cantata each week for performance (directing from the keyboard) as part of the Sunday liturgy. But while Bach’s cantatas are numerous, they are anything but homogeneous, displaying a remarkable variety of forms and forces.

AAM is delighted to welcome back celebrated Canadian conductor Bernard Labadie in a programme of cantatas written for the Lenten and Passiontide observations, showcasing the acclaimed Choir of the AAM. Free pre-concert talk at 6.30pm TICKETS: £15, £25, £30 (£3 for AAMplify members) with a £2 discount for concessions. Available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: tickets@cambridgelivetrust.co.uk; web: www. cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

Richard Egarr, director & harpsichord Although Vivaldi never visited Dresden, his dedication of a series of concertos for the Hofkapelle there, whose 40-plus players made it one of the largest orchestras of its time, had a profound influence on a generation of German musicians.

Composers such as Bach and Telemann were challenged and delighted by these works, whose flamboyance and playful exuberance constituted a truly innovative, new sound.

Directing from the harpsichord, Richard Egarr explores the cross-continental connections of this incredibly fruitful age in concertos embracing the violin, recorder, oboe, horn and trumpet.

Free pre-concert talk at 6.30pm TICKETS: £15, £25, £30 (£3 for AAMplify members) with a £2 discount for concessions. Available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: tickets@cambridgelivetrust.co.uk; web: www. cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

BRITTEN SINFONIA Tuesday, 19 January 2016 1.00pm, West Road Concert Hall

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch Two 2015–16 J.S. Bach Gott versorget alles Leben from Cantata BWV187 J.S. Bach Seufzer, Tranen, Kummer, Not from Cantata BWV21 Ligeti Continuum Anna Clyne This Lunar Beauty (world premiere tour) Pärt Fratres (for string quartet) Scarlatti (arr. Sciarrino) Due arie notturne dal campo Julia Doyle, soprano Marios Argiros, oboe Jacqueline Shave and Miranda Dale, violins Clare Finnimore, viola Caroline Dearnley, cello Maggie Cole, harpsichord

1

A pre-occupation with texture permeates this programme, beginning with two arias from the grand master of counterpoint, J. S. Bach. Ligeti’s Continuum tests not only the limits of the soloist but also the exhilarating knife-edge between hearing individual notes and continuous sound. A world premiere from Grammy-nominated composer of acoustic and electro-acoustic music, Anna Clyne (1), whose music seeks to explore resonant soundscapes and propelling textures, completes the journey from the baroque to present day.

2.15pm, Foyer of the West Road Concert Hall

In Conversation The composer Anna Clyne talks about her new piece This Lunar Beauty with Tim Watts (Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge) and performers from Britten Sinfonia in a post-concert discussion. Free to ticket holders.

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch Three 2015–16

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch Four 2015–16

Debussy Syrinx Donatoni Small II Daníel Bjarnason New work (world premiere tour) Donatoni Marches Debussy Sonata for flute, viola and harp

Bartók Selection of Duos Bryce Dessner New work (world premiere tour) Schumann Piano Quartet in E flat major, Op. 47

Emer McDonough, flute Clare Finnimore, viola Lucy Wakeford, harp The combination of flute, viola and harp may not be the most familiar trio ensemble, but it is one that certainly lends itself to the rich exploration of colour and harmonies that is typical of Debussy’s output. A deeply expressive curiosity in soundscapes and association with visual art also features in the compositions of Icelandic composer Daníel Bjarnason (2), whose new work features alongside Debussy in this programme.

2.15pm, Foyer of the West Road Concert Hall

In Conversation Performers from Britten Sinfonia join a member of the Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge for a post-concert discussion. Free to ticket holders.

Thomas Gould, violin Clare Finnimore, viola Caroline Dearnley, cello Huw Watkins, piano Bryce Dessner (3), known to many as the guitarist from The National, has been leading a double life as a prolific composer and curator in the realm of creative new music. His music, marked by a keen sensitivity to instrumental colour and texture, features in this hour-long programme alongside Bartók’s folklore-inspired pedagogical Duos and Schumann’s ever-popular Piano Quartet.

2.15pm, Foyer of the West Road Concert Hall

In Conversation Tim Watts (Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge) joins performers from Britten Sinfonia for a post-concert discussion. Free to ticket holders.

Andrew Watkinson, violin Ralph de Souza, violin Garfield Jackson, viola David Waterman, cello Wednesday, 27 January 2016 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall Haydn Quartet in F, Op. 77 No. 2 Beethoven Quartet in A, Op. 18 No. 5 Dvořák Piano Quartet No. 2 in E flat, Op. 87 (with Gülsin Onay, piano) We start with Haydn’s last complete quartet, wonderfully joyous and serene, and then play an early Beethoven quartet in which, for once, Mozart’s influence is stronger than Haydn’s. After the interval our friend, the pianist Gülsin Onay, joins us for Dvořák’s delightful piano quartet.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (reg. disabled), £6 (students, under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: tickets@cambridgelivetrust.co.uk; web: www. cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

Wednesday, 24 February 2016 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor, Op. 13 Webern Five Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5 Beethoven Quartet in F, Op. 59 No. 1: Razumovsky The Op.13 is one of Mendelssohn’s most extraordinary and moving works – written at the age of eighteen with Beethoven constantly looking over the young man’s shoulder (metaphorically)! Webern’s five pieces are a miracle of brevity and expressiveness – they last just eight minutes. And in the second half we play the first of Beethoven’s quartets dedicated to Count Razumovsky – a symphony in all but name.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (reg. disabled), £6 (students, under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: tickets@cambridgelivetrust.co.uk; web: www. cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets Wednesday, 20 April 2016 7.30pm, West Road Concert Hall Haydn Quartet in D minor, Op. 76 No. 2: Fifths Mozart Quartet in A, K. 464: Drum Tchaikovsky Quartet No. 2 in F, Op. 22 Drama and intensity abound in this late Haydn quartet. We follow it with the Mozart quartet which would seem to be the inspiration for the Beethoven we played in January – listen out for the stroke of genius towards the end of the variation movement.

Tchaikovsky’s hugely rich and dark second quartet is perhaps his most satisfying chamber music work.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (reg. disabled), £6 (students, under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: tickets@cambridgelivetrust.co.uk; web: www. cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

CAMBRIDGE CENTRE FOR MUSICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES (CMPS) Launched in April 2015, CMPS plays a leading role in musical performance studies close to home and across the globe. It supports a programme of masterclasses, workshops, Side-by-Side events, and other ‘talk-andplay events’ such as lecture-recitals and open rehearsals. Events like these shed light on the knowledge that is created and conveyed in performance, and on how musical performance takes shape over time. During Lent Term 2016, the Centre will host public seminars, ‘Practising Performance’ events, and post-concert ‘Conversations’ with composers and performers in conjunction with the Britten Sinfonia. CMPS also runs a reading group for postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers featuring presentations from visiting scholars.

The Cambridge Centre for Musical Performance Studies is directed by John Rink, working in collaboration with Margaret Faultless, Martin Ennis and Abigail Dolan.

CMPS/IMR Performance/Research Seminars These seminars are organised by CMPS in conjunction with the Institute of Musical Research, University of London. They are intended to present work on musical performance and to foster dialogue and debate between musicians, musicologists and others across a broad range of interests and backgrounds. Special attention is given to practice-led research and collaborative work within the field of music and with other art forms.
