Bach and the Italian Concerto

Bach Reconstructed

Frank de Bruine (1), director & oboe Bojan Čičić (2), director & violin Alastair Ross, harpsichord J.S. Bach was largely a self-taught composer and throughout his life he learnt by transcribing the music of his contemporaries. As part of our exploration of J.S. Bach’s music across the 2016–17 season, this programme brings together works by several of those he learnt from and admired including Albinoni, Vivaldi and A. Marcello. TICKETS: £33–£15; concessions: £31–£13; AAMplify members: £5. Available from Cambridge Live Tickets. T: 01223 357851; E: tickets@cambridgelivetrust. co.uk; W: www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

Robert Howarth (3), director & harpsichord Mary Bevan, soprano Reginald Mobley, countertenor John Mark Ainsley, tenor Matthew Brook, bass Concluding the season’s focus on J.S. Bach, this concert explores another side of his creative process. Bach certainly knew a good musical idea when he heard one, and in common with many of his contemporaries he reused many of them in later works. While we can only speculate on the reasons for the constant recycling, it creates some fascinating contrasts and connections that are explored in this programme directed by Robert Howarth. By rescoring existing pieces for different forces or even assembling larger works from smaller ones, the very best of Bach’s music could flourish in a variety of guises.

Conceived as a musical depiction of the natural world, the Symphony is not regularly performed due to its large-scale orchestral forces. The joining of Cambridge’s finest student instrumentalists and singers for this extraordinary work will result in one of the most memorable concerts in CUMS’ history. We are incredibly lucky to be joined by internationally acclaimed conductor Paul Daniel for this project. Daniel is an alumnus of King’s College and has appeared as a guest conductor with major orchestras and opera companies worldwide, as well as holding prestigious permanent positions. He has recently appeared as the judge on the BBC Series ‘The Great Orchestra Challenge’. TICKETS: £35, £30, £20; students: £31, £26, £16 or £5 on the door, subject to availability.

CLARE COLLEGE REFORMATION 500 PROJECT In October 1517, Martin Luther wrote his Ninety-Five Theses, and nailed them to the door of Wittenberg Castle Church in a provocative act which has come to symbolise the beginning of the European Reformation. On Sunday evenings during Lent Term 2017, Clare College will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with a series of cantatas by J.S. Bach performed liturgically in the College Chapel by the Chapel Choir, under the direction of Graham Ross, the Director of Music. The acts of worship in Chapel will celebrate and explore the exceptional theological, cultural and spiritual legacies of the European Reformation and Counter Reformation, which changed the face of the world. The Choir will be joined by a variety of instrumental ensembles, led by the internationally celebrated baroque violinist Margaret Faultless, as they perform these cantatas often alongside works related to, or inspired by, the genius of the Cantor of Leipzig. At each service an address will be given by a distinguished preacher, including The Right Revd and Rt Hon The Lord Williams (former Archbishop of Canterbury), Bishop Jana Jeruma-Grinberga (former Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain), The Very Revd John Hall (Dean of Westminster), Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP, and the great Reformation historian Professor Eamon Duffy.

CAMBRIDGE CENTRE FOR MUSICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES Launched in April 2015, CMPS plays a leading international role in the field of musical performance studies. In Cambridge, the Centre supports a programme of masterclasses, workshops, Side-by-Side events, and other ‘talk-and-play events’ such as lecture-recitals and open rehearsals. 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 2017, CMPS will host public presentations, ‘Practising Performance’ events, and a ‘Meet the Composer’ session held with the Britten Sinfonia. CMPS will also run a reading group for young researchers featuring talks from visiting scholars. The Cambridge Centre for Musical Performance Studies is directed by John Rink, working in collaboration with Margaret Faultless and Martin Ennis.

Cambridge Performance Studies Forum The events in this Forum are intended to present practice-led research on musical performance and to foster dialogue and debate between musicians, musicologists and others across a broad range of interests and backgrounds.

Çoğulu discusses microtonal music, the history of microtonal guitars, adjustable microtonal guitar design, and compositions and arrangements of polyphonic microtonal Turkish makam music for this guitar. He also performs some microtonal guitar music pieces. TICKETS: Admission free

Tuesday, 31 January 2017 5.00pm–6.30pm, Recital Room, Faculty of Music

Lecture-recital – Microtonal Guitar Music Tolgahan Çoğulu (1) Istanbul Technical University and Turkish State Music Conservatory; CMPS Visiting Fellow Whereas the standard guitar has fixed frets which are adjusted to the 12-tone equal-temperament system, recent innovations in guitar design allow microtonal music to be played, as a result of which microtonal pieces have been added to the guitar repertoire in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The ‘Adjustable Microtonal Guitar’ is one such instrument; it was designed by Tolgahan Çoğulu in 2008. All the frets on the fretboard are movable along the channels under each string; in addition, any number of frets can be inserted into or removed from the fretboard. Since 2008, more than thirty composers have written microtonal pieces in various tunings for this guitar. In this lecture-recital, Tolgahan

Performance as Research Method Mieko Kanno (2) Sibelius Academy; CMPS Visiting Fellow Mieko Kanno focuses on the act of ‘performing’ as a method for gaining insight into music, and its relation to the other types of insight that a broad range of music studies offers.

Tuesday, 28 February 2017 5.00pm–6.30pm, Recital Room, Faculty of Music

Lecture-recital – How to Produce a Better Performance in the Shortest Possible Time Mieko Kanno Sibelius Academy; CMPS Visiting Fellow Mieko Kanno examines performance as a laboratorybased practice and in terms of the skills involved in delivering it. Referring to examples in the performance of contemporary music in particular, she considers the nature of these skills, their function, their conventions, the hierarchies within them, and their role as ‘tools’ that can be used for musical exploration. Issues to be discussed include the idea of optimisation, the significance of stylistic knowledge and skills, and critical path strategy. While the immediate goal of the enquiry is to address the ‘distance’ between conceptual claim (or desire) and actual practice, the overarching aim is to come closer to identifying conditions for action, in other words understanding criteria for ‘what works’ and ‘why it works’ in musical performance. TICKETS: Admission free

PRACTISING PERFORMANCE

The Faculty’s Practising Performance Series is open to students in all years of the undergraduate music course as well as Master’s and doctoral students, and others with an interest in performance. For more information about these events, please visit the Faculty of Music website (www.mus.cam.ac.uk), and if you would like to participate please contact Margaret Faultless, Director of Performance, at mf413@cam.ac.uk.

Directed by Pavlo Beznosiuk (3) and joined by other principal players from AAM. In this seventh AAM Side-by-side event, members of the Cambridge University Collegium Musicum, playing on historical instruments, will work on repertoire that puts Corelli in the context of his employers/colleagues in Rome. The chance to work closely with professional players from AAM always produces lively and inspirational music-making. If you have an interest in the repertoire or in historically informed performance but don’t play an historical instrument, please come and listen.

Peter Donohoe: Piano Masterclass We are extremely lucky that as part of his visit to Cambridge, Peter Donohoe has agreed to take a Practising Performance piano masterclass.

He is acclaimed as one of the foremost pianists of our time, for his musicianship, stylistic versatility and commanding technique. This class will undoubtedly be an extraordinary experience.
