Welcome!

Welcome to the Music in the Round Spring Series 2013, a series of concerts designed to bring a warm glow that will counteract any winter chills outside the Crucible Studio Theatre.

We are looking forward to hosting some outstanding musicians who will be performing for us for the first time. The brilliant lutenist Elizabeth Kenny has designed a special programme for her ensemble, Theatre of the Ayre, celebrating the 450th anniversary of the birth of John Dowland, arguably this country’s greatest ever singer-songwriter! They are joined by the supremely talented countertenor, Robin Blaze, a singer of international renown who is returning to his Yorkshire roots. And from the USA we feature the dynamic Brentano String Quartet, resident quartet at Princeton University, in their 21st birthday season.

We have two keyboard recitals that both promise to be electrifying occasions. Tim Horton reaches the fourth instalment of his compelling Beethoven piano sonatas

series and Trevor Pinnock will be making an eagerly-anticipated return to the Studio for an all-Bach programme.

Our other guests are old favourites – the Kungsbacka Trio – who will be helping Ensemble 360 present our Exploring Mozart mini-festival, the successor to last year’s absorbing Beethoven event. With a packed weekend of concerts and activities we are confident this will be a perfect antidote to any mid-winter blues.

Elizabeth Kenny LUTE Robin Blaze COUNTERTENOR Pamela Thorby RECORDER Alison McMillivray VIOLS

Elizabeth Kenny, widely regarded as one of the finest lutenists on the world stage, has a longstanding love of English seventeenth-century song. Here she is joined by some of today’s most outstanding interpreters of this music to form Theatre of the Ayre, an innovative ensemble which reinvents seventeenthcentury pieces in the spirit of improvisation and entertainment.

In the year of the 450th anniversary of John Dowland’s birth, the group performs some of the composer’s most personal and direct songs, each of them a masterpiece of style and beauty; a musical snapshot of late-Elizabethan England. Not simply rooted in the past, the concert also features Rachel Stott’s Songs and Dances from the Lords’ Masque, described by The Independent as “mesmerising” following its premiere at Wigmore Hall.

Stan Tracey PIANO Mark Armstrong TRUMPET Mark Nightingale TROMBONE Sam Mayne SAXOPHONE Simon Allen SAXOPHONE Mornington Lockett SAXOPHONE Andy Cleyndert BASS Clark Tracey DRUMS

Stan Tracey is an outstanding figure in the jazz world.

His career, spanning five decades, has had a huge influence on both his peers and successive generations.

As the house pianist at Ronnie Scott’s in the 1960s he played with all the visiting American jazz greats. Sonny Rollins said of Stan, “does anybody here know how good he really is?”. His piano-playing combines the percussive melody of Monk with the robust lyricism of Ellington, resulting in a brilliantly idiosyncratic style.

For tonight’s concert, a fantastic octet comprising the cream of British jazz talent perform compositions from their 2009 CD, The Later Works, including material from the The Amandla Suite and The Hong Kong Suite.

Tickets: £15 / £12 Senior Citizens, Unemployed & Students / £3 Under 16s

BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata in G Op.31 No.1 Piano Sonata in E flat Op.31 No.3 Piano Sonata in D minor Op.31 No.2 Tempest Piano Sonata in E flat Op.81a Les Adieux

Tim continues his Beethoven piano sonata cycle with stunning pieces written at moments of personal and political crisis.

At the time of writing Op.31, Beethoven wanted to “strike out along a new path”, despite his encroaching deafness.

The first and last pieces are full of energy and comic character, whilst No.2, nicknamed Tempest because of Beethoven’s evocation of Shakespeare’s play, is a turbulent and dramatic piece.

Les Adieux commemorates Beethoven’s friend Archduke Rudolf’s enforced departure from Vienna before the advance of Napoleon’s troops. Each movement of this, his only programmatic sonata, depicts part of the story: “farewell”, “absence” and “return”.

Exploring Mozart Friday 1 - Sunday 3 March

There is a good chance that any sentence with the word “Mozart” will also contain the word “genius”. But what is it that marks this one composer out from so many and how do we explain his brilliance? These questions and more will be considered during this weekend from varying perspectives, with a sequence of wonderful concerts performed by Ensemble 360 and the Kungsbacka Trio, a pre-concert talk, a lecturerecital and a symposium that will examine musicological, historical and psycho-musicological evidence. We invite you to join in the discussion, or simply sit back and wallow in a glorious musical experience!

MOZART Trio in B flat K502 Trio in E K542 Trio in G K564 Trio in C K548

We are delighted to welcome back the ever-dynamic Kungsbacka Piano Trio to open our Exploring Mozart weekend.

Mozart’s final piano trios see the composer at the height of his powers. The Trio in E is considered by many to be the finest of his trios, with an abundance of memorable tunes. The Trio in G features a captivating set of variations which gives way to a remarkable finale, charging to a jovial close. The Trio in C is truly celebratory; the opening features a call to attention and bravura passages, the slow movement is a heartfelt aria, and the finale is teasing and flirtatious.

This promises to be an evening of infectious and joyous music-making.

Saturday 2 March, 12 noon Ensemble 360

MOZART Sonata for Violin and Piano in C K303 Sonata for Bassoon and Cello in B flat K292 Piano Trio in G K496

Mozart’s Sonata for Bassoon and Cello is something of a mystery. Thought to be written for the same person who commissioned his bassoon concerto, nobleman and amateur bassoonist, Baron Thaddäus von Dürnitz, its autograph manuscript is lost. It is a charming piece which shows off the bassoon to great effect.

The Piano Trio in G opens with a sparkling piano solo, before the violin takes the melody, showing the greater prominence it was starting to receive in Mozart’s chamber music. The cello is also given some independence, starting to break free from the bass line. Music scholar John N Bruk said of the piece, “[This music leaves] the listener with the feeling that this style, intimate, subject to the fleck of fancy, is the ideal way for chamber music.”

Saturday 2 March, 2pm Symposium Adelphi Room

“There is a strange kind of human being in whom there is an eternal struggle between body and soul, animal and god, for dominance. In all great men this mixture is striking, and in none more so than in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.”Alfred Einstein Chaired by Ensemble 360 oboist Adrian Wilson, this two-hour symposium and open discussion examines personal perspectives on Mozart, with historian Professor Derek Beales from the University of Cambridge, and The University of Sheffield’s music psychologist Dr Renee Timmers and musicologist Professor Simon Keefe, whose book Mozart’s Requiem was published in September.

Tickets: : £5 / £3 Under 18s & Students Please note numbers are limited for this event so book early to avoid disappointment.

Saturday 2 March, 4.30pm Lecture-Recital

Tim Horton PIANO Matthew Hunt CLARINET

In this forty-five-minute lecture-recital, Ensemble 360’s pianist Tim Horton and clarinetist Matthew Hunt explore Stefan Jäger’s arrangement of Mozart’s celebrated Violin Sonata K454, a wonderfully light-hearted and effervescent piece.

The audience will experience first-hand how musicians set about achieving an understanding of a masterpiece and how they convey this in performance. As well as an insight into the transformation that takes place when a work is arranged for alternative instruments, the lecture-recital will reveal something of the crucial relationship between composers and performers.

Tickets: £5 / £3 Under 18s & Students

Saturday 2 March, 7.45pm Ensemble 360 MOZART Quartet for Flute and Strings in A K298 String Quartet in D minor K421 Adagio for Cor Anglais and Strings in C K580a Quartet for Piano and Strings in E flat K493

Mozart’s first Flute Quartet is one of joyful parody, with playful settings of popular tunes of the day.

Mozart was playful too in his direction: “Fairly fast and gracefully, but not too quickly, however not too slowly”. His String Quartet in D minor immediately captures the listener’s attention with its poignant, plaintive opening. Part of a set dedicated to Haydn, it is a dramatic yet solemn piece.

The Adagio is a beautifully tender piece with the same melody from Mozart’s famous Ave Verum Corpus. It is thought it may have originally been written for basset horns, intended for Masonic ceremonies. His Piano Quartet in E flat opens dramatically but soon becomes high-spirited, warm and witty.

Highly imaginative programming and virtuoso performances.

We are so lucky to have them in Sheffield.

MOZART Sonata for Violin and Piano in G K301 Duo for Violin and Viola in B flat K424 Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano in E flat K498 Kegelstatt

Mozart’s Duos are among the least known but most charming of his chamber music. This Duo in B flat is an elegantly virtuosic piece, with the violin and viola in perfect partnership.

It is thought that the Kegelstatt Trio is so nicknamed because it was composed during a game of skittles (“Kegelstatt” meaning “skittle alley”). Mozart wrote it for his friend Anton Stadler, who also inspired his clarinet quintet and concerto, and pianist Franziska von Jacquin, as well as himself. In this warm and personal piece, full of wonderful interplay, there is a great sense of music-loving friends playing together.

Tickets: £10 / £7 Disabled & Unemployed / £5 Under 18s & Students See page 24

Sunday 3 March, 3pm Ensemble 360

MOZART Quartet for Oboe and Strings in F K370 Quintet for Piano and Wind in E flat K452 Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in A K581

The Oboe Quartet opens in a joyful fashion, followed by a sorrowful aria-like central movement, perfectly suited to the lyrical, lamenting tone of the oboe, which in turn gives way to an exhilarating finale with an infectious melody and sparkling virtuosity.

Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Wind is one of the most loved pieces in all of chamber music, and Mozart himself thought it was his best work to date. Another favourite in chamber music repertoire, the Clarinet Quintet has a sense of golden warmth tinged with sadness, but the piece concludes in the highest of spirits.

BACH Concerto in D, after Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in D Op.3 No.9 Toccata in E minor French Suite No.6 in E Partita No.4 in D

Trevor Pinnock is renowned across the globe as a pioneer of the modern revival of early music, and has recorded numerous discs, including much of the great music of Bach, some of which he recorded here in Sheffield. This season Trevor will conduct, among others, Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts Orchestra, Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg and Rotterdam Philharmonic, and will give recitals across the UK and Europe.

Here he performs a varied programme of music written and arranged by Bach, opening with an arrangement of a violin concerto by Vivaldi, who greatly inspired the younger composer. The concert concludes with the Partita in D, which includes an extraordinary movement entitled Allemande, featuring a long, fluid melody which ebbs and flows like a meditative improvisation, more and more expressive as it continues.

Friday 8 March, 7.45pm Mark Lockheart’s Ellington in Anticipation

Mark Lockheart SAXOPHONES Seb Rochford DRUMS Liam Noble PIANO Tom Herbert BASS Emma Smith VIOLIN Finn Peters ALTO SAXOPHONE James Allsop CLARINETS

This brand new project inspired by the music of Duke Ellington takes the great musician’s most revered compositions and deconstructs and arranges them into a fascinating set of new music. Rich in orchestration and concept and entirely respectful to the beauty of Ellington’s original creations, these pieces combine the old with the new. Ellington in Anticipation will be released on Subtone Records in February 2013.

This all-star seven-piece group features some of the most exciting and original musicians in the UK, including Parliamentary Jazz Musician of the Year 2010 Mark Lockheart, from groups Loose Tubes and Polar Bear.

Tickets: £15 / £12 Senior Citizens, Unemployed & Students / £3 Under 16s

PURCELL Four Fantasias BEETHOVEN String Quartet in G Op.18 No.2 BRAHMS String Quartet in A minor Op.51 No.2

The US-based Brentano Quartet celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, and those twenty years have been full of performances across the globe, including at Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House.

“A greater musical genius England never had,” wrote a contemporary of Henry Purcell. The composer was obsessed with counterpoint, and his Fantasias, a cornerstone of early string repertoire, are the result of this passion.

Mark Steinberg VIOLIN Serena Canin VIOLIN Misha Amory VIOLA Nina Lee CELLO

www.musicintheround.co.uk

Brahms felt very much in the shadow of Beethoven and it was not until 1873, under pressure from his publisher and encouragement from his friends Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim, that he allowed his Op.51 quartets to be published. They are contrasting pieces, the tenderness of the second, played here, juxtaposed with the ruggedness of the first.
