Aakash Odedra Company

London Philharmonic Orchestra

David Murphy
conductor


After a terrible mistake leaves the ancient sage Chyavana blinded, the beautiful princess Sukanya finds herself marrying for the sake of her kingdom. As a pair of swaggering, meddling gods watch this unlikely union blossom, will love grow in the strangest of circumstances?
Taken from the legendary Sanskrit texts of the Mahābhārata, the story of Sukanya has been brought to life in this innovative production with music by Indian music legend Ravi Shankar and combines traditional Indian instruments with Western orchestra and singers.
This performance is directed by Curve Associate Director Suba Das and unites dance choreographed by the Aakash Odedra Company, production by the Royal Opera and the musicians of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Come and experience Ravi Shankar’s Sukanya. This special event combining myth, music and dance brings Ravi Shankar’s opera to life for the very first time.

France

Diotima Quartet
Yun-Peng Zhao, violin

Franck Chevalier, viola
Pierre Morlet, cello

Today, electronics have created unimagined possibilities to a new generation of musicians.

Anima by Ashley Fure represents a quest for electric blood, for digital breathing…. Like a stethoscope listening to the body’s secrets, the performers move transducers from one spot to another on their instruments; instruments that then become loudspeakers.
In memory of the Italian composer Fausto Romitelli, The 1987 Max Headroom Broadcast Incident by Mauro Lanza is a tribute to obsolescent or soon to be forgotten technologies.
In Philipp Maintz’ Geubteste Ferne, the composer questions each instrument’s heterogeneity. How does one keep an open mind when presented with an unexpected object? How does one understand its qualities?

Ghost stories by Oscar Strasnoy blends the voices of famous authors with instrumental sounds. Like genies trapped in lamps, Perec Calvino and Borges speak to us as if they were still alive.
For works that, via alterations or electronics, shift the representation of the string quartet.

“We’ll go up, you and me, together, hand in hand, no fear, no regrets.”

Y Tŵr explores the journey of two people bound together through life’s all too brief struggle, from youth to old-age, from love to despair, from desire to disillusionment. An intense and searching opera from the UK’s leading new opera company and the Welsh-language national theatre company, based on the work of one of Wales’ most important playwrights. Personal and universal. Particular and timeless.

Sung in Welsh with English surtitles.

A thrilling opportunity to experience Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece with a live orchestra.

Conductor Jason Thornton and the Bath Philharmonia combined with a great film will provide a cinematic experience to remember.

Simon Rattle conducts Adès, Mozart and Stravinsky
Philharmonie Hall, Berlin

Berliner Philharmoniker
Sir Simon Rattle Conductor
Imogen Cooper Piano

“Simon Rattle and friends”: that’s how one could describe this concert. The composer Thomas Adès, whose Dances from “Powder Her Face” we hear here, and Imogen Cooper, the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 25, have both been artistic associates for many years. One could say the same about Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps, which Rattle has conducted in Berlin repeatedly, including in 2003 at the first dance project of the Philharmoniker’s Education Programme. In addition, Sir Simon Rattle conducts the German premiere of Chant funebre, an early work by Stravinsky which was long considered lost and rediscovered only recently.

Adès
Britten Sinfonia

The opening concert of a three year project between Thomas Adès and Britten Sinfonia, performing Beethoven’s Symphony Cycle alongside music by contemporary composer Gerald Barry.

‘Thomas Adès makes you hear things with which you thought you were familiar as if they were completely new’ wrote the Guardian’s Tom Service. In this opening concert of Adès's Beethoven Symphony cycle project with Britten Sinfonia, he sheds new light on these monuments of orchestral repertoire. Here Beethoven’s witty first symphony is paired with the virtuosic second, complemented by Gerald Barry’s powerful setting of Beethoven’s love letter to his ‘immortal beloved’.

Not Less Than the Good
Morgan Library
New York
United States

Tickets: $25 /$20
New Thread Quartet
J.D. McClatchy
David Morneau

Not Less Than the Good is a musical sunrise, a celebration of morning as embraced by Thoreau in Walden. Thoreau wrote about morning as a metaphor for intellectual and spiritual awakening: “The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour.” Commissioned by New Thread Quartet and composed by David Morneau, Not Less Than the Good simulates a sunrise by combining the meditative playing of the saxophone quartet with ambient synthesizers. The music grows from a single quiet note, adding notes and timbres, growing in fullness and depth. Underneath this are sounds recorded during the pre-dawn and early morning hours at Walden Pond: a chorus of insects, the lone song of dawn’s first bird which is joined by others in a raucous counterpoint, and the splashing of morning swimmers. The hour-long performance is punctuated by readings of excerpts from Walden—a secular prayer of hope for enlightenment—performed by poet J. D. McClatchy.

Morneau composed Not Less Than the Good for the bicentennial of Thoreau’s birth (July 12, 2017). In Walden, Thoreau invites us to reject the life we’re expected to live, through a pursuit of self enlightenment, through the effort to wake up. His words remain vital today. “I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.”

The Israelite exile Tammu and the priestess Inanna declare their love for each other within the walls of Babylon. Tammu is sacrificed, and Inanna descends into the underworld to bring back her lover. Babylon is the second opera by Jörg Widmann, who studied under Wolfgang Rihm. Philosopher Peter Sloterdijk wrote the libretto. The world premiere at the Bavarian State Opera in 2012 was spectacular, thanks to Widmann’s overwhelming music. A concert version is being performed at the NTR Saturday Matinee. The Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Choir and the Nederlands Kamerkoor, conducted by Markus Stenz, promise virtuoso vocal scores and a ‘Babylonian’ polyphony of styles and sounds.
