Ksenija Sidorova
Solstice Quartet

There was a standing ovation at Ksenija Sidorova’s recital last year. No one had ever heard an accordion player equipped with a phenomenal technical prowess combined with such exquisite musicianship. The success of this recital was so great that we felt compelled to invite her back to the Festival so that more people would have a chance to hear this extraordinarily gifted artist.
Ksenija is joined by the eminently successful Solstice Quartet who, since winning the Royal Overseas League in 2009, has given recitals in the Wigmore and Bridgewater Halls to name but two of a string of well−known concert locations in this country and overseas. They met at Cambridge and have worked with Ksenjia Sidorova on a number of occasions. Their programme is eclectic, fun and varied.

Piano Recital by Panos Karan
Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall
New York
United States
http://www.carnegiehall.org

Tickets: $40, $20, ($15 discounts)
Panos Karan was educated at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He made his professional debut at the Southbank Centre at the age of 19. Engagements have included two solo recitals at Weill Recital Halll at Carne- gie Hall, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Hermitage Theatre in St. Petersburg and the Athens Megaron Concert Hall. In 200,7 he presented the complete cycle of the Beethoven concerti in the UK. In 2009, he recorded Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Orion Symphony Orchestra.



“Can music change the world? We believe it can”
is the motto Keys of Change and its founder, Panos Karan, who has already accomplished two symbolic journeys in South America and Japan to make sure it does.

Panos Karan completed the first leg of a 5000-mile Keys of Change musical adventure across the Amazon River in March 2011 and is preparing for his second visit to Ecuador and Peru, to share the world of piano music with indigenous communities.

While at the disaster zone in northeastern Japan, Panos Karan performed for communities affected by the 11 March earthquake and tsunami. He played 11 recitals in 8 days for people living in emergency shelters, schools and temporary housing. “Music can give hope and encouragement in times of the greatest grief, sorrow and despair,” says Panos.

The International Street Cannibals announce Tai Chi Cha Cha
St Mark's in-the-Bowery
131 East 10th Street, NY, 10003
United States

Tickets: $15/ $10 students and seniors


Combining internationally acclaimed classical soloists, NYC's most dexterous players and performer/composers, and a host of some of the top jazz and non-classical players worldwide, The International Street Cannibals kick off their 2011-2012 season with the wildly adventurous "Tai Chi Cha Cha". In this event, works of a stylistic range traversing Bach, Debussy, and contemporary composers are spied through the textural lens of cha cha rhythms and settings, while the textually flexible forms of Afro-Cuban music and dance are made to coalesce with spatial and dynamic properties of the Tai Chi martial art.

Following the performance, the resulting mess installation will be left in the gallery for the duration of Wunderbar. Then Andy will pass the baton on to the next artist. Watch this space.

Centenary Ensemble
Featuring Singers from Brighton University


Female composers have fought for years against the perception that writing music is a man's game.

This misperception will be challenged at a concert on 4 November 2011, St James Piccadilly, London, to celebrate 100 years since the formation of the Society of Women Musicians.

The concert will include pieces written by women in the early and mid twentieth century against a background of suffrage, feminist campaigning and social change. These pieces will be juxtaposed with specially commissioned responses from women composing today.


Rhian Samuel : Moon and Birds
Lynne Plowman : Siren Song
Amy Cunningham : On Standby

Cantata Singers Kick-Starts its 48th Season with the World Premiere of Stephen Hartke’s “Precepts”
Jordan Hall, Boston
30 Gainsborough Street
United States
617-585-1260
http://www.newenglandconservatory.edu

Tickets: $17-$52, Students $10
Cantata Singers propels into its 48th season with a return to the organization’s roots, embracing the music of J.S. Bach along with works inspired by and in thematic alignment with the tenor of the master-composer’s catalogue.

Its first concert of the new season features many “firsts”: the world premiere of Stephen Hartke’s complete Precepts featuring oboe soloist Peggy Pearson, a fragment of which the group presented in 2007; the Boston premiere of Hartke’s A Brandenburg Autumn; and the first time Cantata Singers presents Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F and Lutheran Mass in F. All four works on the program suggest all of our autumns—times of joy, sadness, eagerness and reflection during this auspicious autumnal season.
