Howard Skempton: September Songs
Ikon, Birmingham
1 Oozells Square, B1 2HS
United Kingdom
0121 248 0708
http://www.ikon-gallery.co.uk/

A Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and Ikon collaboration; presented during ArtsFest
Featuring BCMG soloists and mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg

For September Songs renowned British composer Howard Skempton selects artworks from Ikon’s exhibition This Could Happen To You and uses them as a visual backdrop for a sequence of musical performances by BCMG soloists and mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg. Taking place throughout Ikon, September Songs allows Skempton’s music to unfold across the gallery’s interconnecting rooms, giving rise to chance encounters.

Best known for his stripped-down, melodic compositions, Skempton presents music from the 1960s–1970s and newly written miniatures, such as his recent interludes for cello and guitar. The former will include Pole which will be performed across the gallery, creating an ever-shifting sound backdrop, and For Strings (see below).

Sprinkled throughout the weekend will be a series of solos and duets including two new works for Loré Lixenberg, a setting of DH Lawrence’s Whales Weep Not! and a new piece setting definitions of words taken from the Penguin Dictionary of Music.

We invite members of the public to take part on Saturday 11 September in performances of For Strings, a piece whose score comprises three words – Waves / Shingle / Seagulls. We are looking for string players of any standard – those interested should contact BCMG on 0121 616 2616 or email info@bcmg.org.uk. Alternatively, turn up on the day with your instrument, arriving at Ikon in time for a 3pm briefing from the composer.

Visit www.ikon-gallery.co.uk or www.bcmg.org.uk nearer the time for a full schedule of the weekend, including family and participatory activities.

MARC YEATS- world premiere . .

Orare for bass trombone and piano

An oracle is a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion.
It may also be a revealed prediction or precognition of the future, from deities, that is spoken through another object or life-form (e.g.: augury and auspice). In the ancient world many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracula wisdom: they too became known as "oracles," and the oracular utterances, called khrēsmoi in Greek, were often referred to under the same name—a name derived from the Latin verb ōrāre, to speak.

CANTATA SINGERS LAUNCH 2010-11 SEASON IN HONOR OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS
Longy School of Music
27 Garden Street
United States
(617) 876-0956
http://www.longy.edu

Tickets: $20 - General Admission
Cantata Singers continues its single composer series by turning to a composer who embodies both the devotion to the rich tapestry of history and an eagerness to weave a fresh one – Ralph Vaughan Williams. With the companionship of RVW’s fellow English and American composers-including Pulitzer Prize winner Yehudi Wyner in a brand new commissioned work by Cantata Singers and with Bach’s great Mass in B minor (a work RVW himself loved and conducted), this Cantata Singers 2010-2011 Season deepens the organization’s musical journey.

Tickets: Free event
BCMG conducted by Peter Wiegold

This short late night event follows a 7.30pm concert by the innovative Icebreaker ensemble, who will be performing a live arrangement of Brian Eno’s seminal album Apollo, alongside NASA footage. In it we revisit three highlights from our April 2010 Serenade for a Satellite concerts.

Peter Wiegold is renowned for his brilliant interpretation of Bruno Maderna’s Serenata per un Satellite, a minor classic of Italian 20th Century music, written to celebrate the launch of the ESRO 1B Boreas Satellite in 1969. Wiegold’s Mysterium – a piece that combines written and devised music with live improvisation and recordings from the first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite, Sputnik – and Constellations, a collection of space-inspired movements by Param Vir – complete the programme.

This concert is part of Sounds of Space, a weekend of music, talks and events inspired by the wonders of the universe taking place in Birmingham’s Town Hall and Symphony Hall. For full programme information please www.thsh.co.uk/soundsofspace.
