Saturday, January 17, 2015 at Hear and Now: Hans Abrahamsen City Halls Glasgow Scotland
BBCSSO
The BBC SSO celebrates the music of Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen with a concert for BBC Radio 3’s Hear and Now which features two UK premieres. Originally considered part of the Danish New Simplicity movement which was a reaction to 1960s Modernism, Abrahamsen’s music exhibits imagination, moving lyricism and spirituality.
In this concert the Danish String Quartet performs the composer’s First String Quartet and later, to close the evening, the BBC SSO plays a re-working of the same piece in Ten Sinfonias. Sisters Baiba and Lauma Skride give the UK Premiere of the Double Concerto written for them, and, as a complete contrast, there’s a performance of Abrahamsen’s beautiful arrangement for orchestra of Debussy’s suite for piano, Children’s Corner.
To be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at 7.30pm DILLON: STABAT MATER DOLOROSA Queen Elizabeth Hall, London South Bank, London SE1 United Kingdom 08700 606 096 http://www.rfh.org.uk
Ilan Volkov conductor
BBC Singers
London Sinfonietta
“A Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival highlight… beautiful, distant and compelling" **** The Guardian (on the world premiere in November).
One of the most celebrated but least performed composers in the UK, James Dillon has described his music as like ‘stepping into the magic circle'.
In this, the London premiere of his new work for choir, ensemble and electronics, Dillon explores the myth surrounding one of the most important texts in Biblical history, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Combining the original Latin text with excerpts from an essay by radical feminist writer Julie Kristeva, John Donne’s A Valediction and even a letter to Picasso from his mother, this contemporary rendering of Mary’s lamentation at the foot of the cross will have a powerful, expressive impact.
Commissioned by BBC Radio 3, hcmf// and Casa da Música Porto.
