Music and Musica at BEA - Arthur Kampela
BEA - Brazilian Endowment for the Arts
240 E. 52nd street, New York, NY, 10022
United States
http://www.brazilianendowment.org/Música.php
contact@brazilianendowment.org
Tickets: $15 and $10 (students and BEA members)
Flutist Margaret Lancaster will be playing (“Happy Days” - after Beckett), for flute and electronics. Gregor Kitizis virtuosi violin player will play “Gestures.” Musicians in Kampela’s new music band for the show are: Jose Moura (bass), Dan Barrett (cello); Denise Puricelli (keys) and Javier Diaz (percussion).
Kampela’s music navigates between hybridism and complexity. Traditional forms such as “Bossas-Novas” and “Sambas” (popular music forms of his native country, Brazil), receive similar compositional treatment as his more strictly “avant-garde” oriented material.The pieces can be seen/heard as an extension of his approach to music in general and composition in particular. He sees himself inserted in a cosmopolitan / globablized world, “frictioning” against innumerous tendencies and musical styles.

Berkley Street, Birmingham

Tickets: In advance: £14 full price / £8 conc / £5 under 16s // On the door: £16 full price / £10 conc / £6
Birmingham Contemporary Music Group
The Opera Group
Seven angels have fallen through space and time for so long, they have forgotten why. Coming to rest on a desert landscape, they imagine the creation of a legendary garden that once flourished there and its destruction from greed and neglect.
Moving and magical, Seven Angels interprets the themes of Milton’s poetic masterpiece Paradise Lost for an audience facing up to the urgent challenge of a changing climate and ever-depleting resources.
Featuring seven singers and a live chamber orchestra, this is the long-awaited first opera from Luke Bedford, one of the UK’s leading young composers, and the first collaboration between Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and The Opera Group. Luke’s Or Voit Tout en Aventure (2007) was hailed by The Guardian as ‘one of the most outstanding pieces by any young composer I've ever experienced.’ The opera’s post-apocalyptic landscape is realised by Japanese artist Tadasu Takamine.

Music and Musica at BEA - Brazilian Acoustic Ensemble
BEA - Brazilian Endowment for the Arts
240 E. 52nd street, New York, NY, 10022
United States
http://www.brazilianendowment.org/Música.php

Tom do Pandeiro - percussion
Justin - Bandolim
The Brazilian Acoustic Ensemble is a group that is dedicating itself to the performance of varied instrumental music from many parts of Brazil. It is a quartet close to the style of the "regional," a typical arrangement of instruments one can find in Brazil for the performance of choro or for the purpose of backing up a singer.
As great a music bossa nova is, as the most commercially successful it has dominated the small amount of Brazilian music that reaches American ears. This ensemble has made it a commitment to explore the richness of other forms of Brazilian music and bring a different palette of emotion and color to it's audience. Through the various genres of music, different images of Brazil are conveyed. There is the pulse of the smaller cities, the Moorish influence (a la Portugal and Muslim West Coast Africa), the highly modern urbanity emitted by the wide intervals in modern choro. There is the impossibly bright racing frevo, carnival music that in a small ensemble rivals jazz in its twisting sense of musical line and rhythmic forward motion. There are the archaic European dance forms that have been perked up and re-africanized by Brazilian Northeast laborers such as xote (somewhat related to the European "Schottish"). All these contrasts both serve to educate audiences and serve as a springboard for improvisation and artistic expression for each individual member of the ensemble.

Schubert - Widmann - Chopin
Steinway Hall, London
44 Marylebone Lane, London W1U 2DB
United Kingdom
Tickets: £15
Bela Hartmann, piano
At the centre of this recital is the UK premiere of Jörg Widmann’s Fleurs du mal – Sonata after Baudelaire. Widmann is one of the most celebrated of younger composers today, with works performed at all the major concert halls of the world and seasons devoted to his music at venues such as the Wigmore Hall, the Royal Academy and the Salzburg Festival.
Fleurs du mal is a substantial work for piano inspired by the poetry of Charles Baudelaire. Ranging from the visionary and mysterious to the demonic and violent it is the perfect image in sound of Baudelaire’s poems, culminating in a frenzied chase to the extremities of the keyboard. Its sensuality and atmosphere make it a perfect introduction to Widmann, and this occasion should not be missed by anyone interested in piano music, old or new.
Joerg Widmann : Fleurs du mal
Franz Schubert : Sonata in C, D 840
Frederick Chopin : Selected Works
