Kraus Symphony in C minor Haydn Symphony No. 49 in F minor Benda Concerto for violin and strings in D minor Mozart Symphony No. 25 in G minor

Cross over to the dark side of the classical era in this exploration of lesser-known, minor-mode works. Dark and brooding, this programme is a journey to intense tonal areas, rarely trod by composers of the age.

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch One 2015–16

Richard Watkins, horn Jacqueline Shave, violin Huw Watkins, piano

Huw Watkins Horn Trio Edward Nesbit (2) Lifesize Gods (world premiere tour) Brahms Albumblatt Brahms Horn Trio

At the time when Brahms wrote his Horn Trio the combination of the three instruments, horn, violin, and piano, was considered an innovation but it has since inspired a number of works for the same ensemble, two of which feature in this performance alongside Brahms’ own work. Huw Watkins’ Horn Trio alternates driving rhythmic passages with slower contemplative music and we also hear the London premiere of a new horn trio, Lifesize Gods, written by the winner of OPUS2015, Britten Sinfonia’s competition for unpublished composers.

Messiah 2015

Carolyn Sampson, soprano Iestyn Davies, countertenor Allan Clayton, tenor Christopher Purves, bass Britten Sinfonia Voices (3) Eamonn Dougan, conductor

Handel’s remarkable oratorio Messiah, with its vivid portrayal of biblical scenes and high emotional charge, is staple ‘fare’ in many people’s Christmas musical diet. And rightly so – alongside brilliant solo arias, its magnificent choruses have fired a whole nation’s passion for choral-singing. In this performance Britten Sinfonia are joined by a stellar quartet of soloists for a festive performance that is sure to be both thrilling and jubilant. 6.30pm – In Conversation A pre-concert talk about Handel’s Messiah (free to ticket holders)

Tuesday, 19 January 20151.00pm, West Road Concert Hall

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch Two 2015–16

Julia Doyle, soprano Marios Argiros, oboe Jacqueline Shave and Miranda Dale, violins Clare Finnimore, viola Caroline Dearnley, cello Maggie Cole, harpsichord

Bach Gott versorget alles Leben from Cantata BWV187 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

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, whose music seeks to explore resonant soundscapes and propelling textures, completes the journey from the baroque to present day.

Wednesday, 28 October 20157.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Haydn Quartet in E flat, Op. 76 No. 6: ‘Fantasia’Bartók Quartet No. 3Beethoven Quartet in B flat, Op. 130, with Grosse Fuge finale, Op. 133

We start the series with our ‘dream programme’: Haydn, Bartók and Beethoven. In each part of his late quartet Haydn takes the simplest of ideas and works magic. Bartók’s third quartet fits into seventeen minutes an extraordinary range of moods, from great beauty through to ferocity. Beethoven’s Op. 130, with its original final movement – the incredible, exhilarating and revolutionary Grosse Fuge – stands out as a towering masterpiece.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (Reg. disabled), £6 (Student, Under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: [email protected]; web: www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

Wednesday, 25 November 20157.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Schubert Quartet in C minor, D. 703: ‘Quartettsatz’Haydn Quartet in A, Op. 20 No. 6: ‘Sun’Beethoven Quartet in F minor, Op. 95: ‘Serioso’Debussy Quartet in G minor, Op. 10

Debussy’s only quartet is a gorgeous and brilliant exploration of the fantastic and sensuous sound world uncovered by early twentieth century French composers. It also has the hardest second violin part in the repertoire! In the first half we play Schubert’s one movement jewel, a sparkling relatively early Haydn quartet (with a perfect slow movement and magical finale) and Beethoven’s shortest quartet, concise and incredibly dramatic.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (Reg. disabled), £6 (Student, Under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: [email protected]; web: www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

Wednesday, 27 January 20167.30pm, West Road Concert Hall

Haydn Quartet in F, Op. 77 No. 2Beethoven Quartet in A, Op. 18 No. 5Dvorák 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 in which for once Mozart’s influence is stronger than Haydn’s. After the interval our friend, the pianist Gülsin Onay, joins us for Dvorák’s delightful piano quartet.

TICKETS: £27, £25 (OAP), £13 (Reg. disabled), £6 (Student, Under 16s) available from Cambridge Live Tickets. Tel: 01223 357851; email: [email protected]; web: www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/tickets

King’s 500 Contemporary Music Festival2015 marks the quincentenary of King’s College Chapel and 500 years of music in that wonderful space. Throughout this time, generations of King’s musicians have sustained the quality of music-making at the highest possible level, and have also maintained a strong commitment to the music of their time.

It is fitting then that some of the most active proponents of new music to have been associated with the college in recent years have come together to create a once-in-a-generation festival celebrating the last fifty years of contemporary music to have come out of King’s.

The festival features world-class performances from artists including The Philharmonia Orchestra, great works that have defined British contemporary music over the last 50 years, and a range of educational events designed to maximise the impact and reach of the festival.

MUSIC OUTREACH

Saturday, 24 October 201511.00am–12.00pm, Recital Room at the Faculty of Music

Flamenco and the politics of resistance: flashmobs and immigration in Spain

When people think of flamenco, usually stereotypical images of dark-haired Gypsy dancers, polka-dot dresses and passion come to mind. In this talk, Matthew Machin-Autenrieth (Research Fellow at the Faculty of Music) will explore an alternative side to flamenco that is little known outside of Spain – one of protest and resistance. In addition to a brief overview of the tradition, he will focus on two specific case studies: flamenco flashmobs against the economic crisis, and a performance aimed at raising awareness of immigration and racism in Southern Spain. Using these examples, Matthew will demonstrate how flamenco is harnessed as a tool for political protest and as a catalyst for social change. Suitable for ages 15+.

TICKETS: admission free, but booking required. Tel: 01223 766766

Who decides what I listen to next?

We are in a new musical market place. With Spotify radio, Last.fm and YouTube continuous play, listeners no longer have complete control of their playlist. The choice is made for us by algorithms, staff curators, or both. As a result, the big businesses that provide these services can decide upon who gets listened to, and who gets left on the shelf. Whilst this benefits some, independent artists feel they lose out. Dr Kariann Goldschmitt and Dr Ananay Aguilar (Faculty of Music) offer a practical exploration of these themes bringing insight into this complex world. Suitable for ages 15+.

CAMBRIDGE CENTRE FOR MUSICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES (CMPS)

14

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-and-play 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 Michaelmas Term 2015, the Centre will host public seminars, ‘Practising Performance’ events, and a ‘Meet the Composer’ session held with the Britten Sinfonia, and it is supporting a public workshop at Caius College. CMPS will also run a reading group for young 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 research about 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.

The CMPS/IMR Performance/Research Seminars take place from 5.15pm to 6.45pm at Senate House, University of London, Malet Street, London WC1.

At Glasgow University her composition teachers were Judith Weir and Lyell Cresswell and at Cambridge University she studied extensively with Alexander Goehr.

Martin Butler/Notes Inégales (5)

Martin Butler will lead a workshop featuring the Notes Inégales ensemble, which will develop one-page scores by students, and perform them at an informal concert at 5.00pm.

Club Inégales is a place of surprises: do not expect the conventional! It’s not a jazz club, not a new music venue, not a comedy club, not a world music venue. But all of these appear, as we search for the best of real new, spontaneous performance.

Devoted equally (or unequally) to improvisation, as well as written music, and to devising new work alongside composers/other artists and playing contemporary repertoire, house band Notes Inégales features some of the finest players in Britain, all equally comfortable with complex modern scores, wide-ranging improvisation – and they can swing…

Mitsuko Uchida: On Keys and MusicLegendary pianist Mitsuko Uchida (1) brings a deep insight into the music she plays through her own search for truth and beauty. Renowned for her interpretations of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven, she has also illuminated the music of Berg, Schoenberg, Webern and Boulez for a new generation of listeners.

Monday, 26 October 20155.00pm, West Road Concert Hall

Lecture 1

Illustrated lecture on Diatonicism and all that. Is the system that has underpinned music for centuries still relevant? Even after the tonal revolution of atonality in 1909, what is it that makes the Beatles’ music more popular than that of Schoenberg? Those are some of the questions Mitsuko Uchida will look at.

Thursday, 29 October 20155.00pm, West Road Concert Hall

Lecture 2

Illustrated lecture comparing Mozart and Beethoven Piano Concertos. Mitsuko Uchida will discuss the similarities and differences between Mozart’s Concerto in C minor K. 491 and Beethoven’s Third Concerto in C minor, and between Mozart’s Concerto in C major K. 503 and Beethoven’s Fourth Concerto in G major. The pairings are often thought to be very alike, but Mitsuko will offer challenges to this view.

Sir Arthur Bliss International Song Series

Kate Royal, sopranoJoseph Middleton, piano

Internationally acclaimed soprano Kate Royal leapt to prominence early in her career thanks to auspicious debuts at The Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera Covent Garden, Glyndebourne and an exclusive record deal with EMI Classics. She performs with the world’s finest orchestras and conductors and can be heard in recital in the most celebrated halls in Europe and North America. Tonight she is joined by Pembroke’s College Musician, Joseph Middleton, recently described in BBC Music Magazine as ‘one of the brightest stars in the world of song and Lieder.’

‘Komm, Trost der Welt’: themes of solace, comfort and consolation weave through Kate Royal and Joseph Middleton’s thoughtfully programmed recital. The first half features settings of the poet Rückert by Robert and Clara Schumann before Kate and Joseph perform Mahler’s existentialist set of five songs exploring various aspects of love and loss, earthly cares juxtaposed alongside a desire for peace in transfiguration. The second half centres around Samuel Barber’s group of ten songs setting translations of medieval Gaelic and Latin poems attributed to Irish saints and holy persons. Some are very short, witty and droll observations of the simples lives these men led and others are altogether more Godly. They end, like the Mahler, with an extended meditation.

TICKETS: £20 (£15 OAPs, £10 College members and unwaged, £5 students and under 18s), available from the Porters’ Lodge or on the door. Email: [email protected]
