NEW LONDON CHAMBER ENSEMBLE
Mozart and Machines could be the subtitle to this intriguing programme of music for wind instruments. Beginning with arrangements for wind quintet of works that Mozart wrote originally for mechanical organ and glass harmonica, it ends with the beloved Serenade for 13 winds (well, actually 12 winds and double bass). Philip Cashian’s rhythmic, witty work takes its inspiration from another mechanical curiosity, Settala’s Machine, a 17th century mechanical devil.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Andante for mechanical organ (arr. Cashian)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Adagio for glass harmonica (arr. Beamish)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Adagio/Allegro for mechanical organ (arr. Butler)
Philip Cashian : Dectet ‘Settala’s Machine’
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Serenade No 10 ‘Gran Partita’

THE SMITH QUARTET
JOBY BURGESS PERCUSSION
Memory and reflection run through this evening of rhythmic, dancing music. Reich’s powerful, haunting Different Trains weaves the recorded recollections of Pullman Porters, a 1940s nanny and holocaust survivors through the colours of the string quartet, while Martland’s work for marimba and quartet dances through memories of Africa beneath a starry sky.
Steve Martland : Starry Night
Steve Reich : Different Trains
Graham Fitkin : new quintet

THE WILL GREGORY MOOG ENSEMBLE
Parabola Arts Centre
Parabola Rd, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL50 3AA
United Kingdom
+44 1242 707338
http://www.parabolaartscentre.co.uk
50 years after Robert Moog first presented his monophonic synthesizer to the world, Goldfrapp’s Will Gregory brings together no fewer than 10 Moogs on stage.
With a lineup including composer Graham Fitkin and Portishead’s Adrian Utley, the Ensemble performs Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No 3, excerpts from John Carpenter’s sci-fi fantasy Escape From New York and a new piece by Gregory featuring a specially developed device that synchronises the synths together like a huge player piano. The second half features a score by Will Gregory played live to a poignant film The Service Of Tim Henman.
The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble first performed together in 2005 as part of the Bath Festival, recreating some of the ‘Switched on Bach’ arrangements of Wendy Carlos in the Seventies. As one half of the electronic music sensation Goldfrapp, the keyboard-player and composer Will Gregory is one of the UK’s leading advocates of using synthesizers and electronic instruments to create new sounds and reinvent old ones. The band perform a mixture of specially composed music, transcriptions of classical works, and their own versions of music from popular culture and film scores.

NICOLA LEFANU MUSIC
NANCY GAFFIELD LIBRETTO
CAROLINE CLEGG DIRECTOR
KIMIE NAKANO DESIGNER
DOMINIC WHEELER CONDUCTOR
Okeanos is an ensemble which mixes traditional Japanese instruments, such as koto, sho and shamisen, with western ones. They open this event with a taste of traditional Japanese music, before composer Nicola LeFanu and librettist Nancy Gaffield discuss how this distinctive soundworld influenced the creation of this new multimedia opera, Tokaido Road.
Taking its name from the series of vivid woodblock prints by Japanese artist Hiroshige, the opera brings Hiro – the figure present in every picture – to life. Journeying from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto against a backdrop of old and new images, Hiro tells of his encounters – humorous, amorous, tragic – through mime, dance, speech and song.
