BEAT FURRER: FAMA

London Sinfonietta
When Beat Furrer’s FAMA was premiered in Germany in 2005 it was hailed as ‘a miracle’ by Die Zeit. Now, after a decade of performances across Europe, this masterpiece of sound theatre finally arrives in the UK.
Based on the novella Fräulein Else by Arthur Schnitzler, FAMA follows the story of a distressed young woman forced into prostitution in order to pay her father’s debts. But in Furrer’s music, nothing is as it first appears: linear time seems to dissolve and a momentary snapshot becomes the subject of an intense narrative, as Furrer gives audible expression to a series of shocking events.

BCMG
Kevin Volans is one of the world’s least predictable and most distinctive composers. Early in his career Volans studied in Cologne with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mauricio Kagel and was previously listed by BBC Music Magazine as one of the 50 most important living composers. Today, Volans’ music is regularly performed by many of the top international orchestras and ensembles.
His first commission for BCMG, the quiet and contemplative The Partenheimer Project, was premiered in 2008 at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery. His second promises to be a substantial, high-energy and spectacular piece for piano and ensemble. The internationally acclaimed Barry Douglas joins BCMG to premiere Piano Concerto No. 4 – the first Sound Investment premiere of the scheme’s 25th anniversary year.

Marius Neset Quartet
London Sinfonietta
Wunderkind saxophonist Marius Neset exploded on to the UK stage in 2010 when he performed at Ronnie Scott’s as part of his mentor Django Bates’ 50th birthday celebrations. Using a palette of visceral instrumental sounds, his music mixes the lyricism of his Scandinavian roots with the high-octane fury of Bates and Zappa.
This first live performance of his new album Snowmelt (released in August 2016) stretches the boundaries of contemporary jazz, demanding infectious energy and lightning virtuosity from nineteen London Sinfonietta players and a jazz quartet, with Neset at their helm.
"As powerful, skilfill and idiomatically varied on stage as he is on record, Neset is a resounding talent." The Guardian
“Neset’s music has an infectious energy and a harmonic dynamism which is very different, and hugely refreshing.” The Telegraph
“Neset delivers strong emotions with breathtaking fluency… an epic of collective interplay, elegiac moods and disciplined, high-octane fury.” Financial Times

Making Waves: 30 Years of Scottish Composition
City Halls
Glasgow
Scotland
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
James MacMillan conductor
As part of a day celebrating the BBC Performing Groups’ contribution to Radio 3’s 70 years of pioneering music and culture since the founding of the Third Programme, the BBC SSO presents an hour-long concert showcasing Scottish composition from the last three decades.
Stuart MacRae and Anna Meredith were composers associated with the BBC SSO between 1999 and 2006, so the concert opens with MacRae’s Stirling Choruses (a BBC Commission from 1999) and includes Meredith’s work fringeflower. Judith Weir’s Music, Untangled, meanwhile, is a work inspired in part by a traditional melody sung by women cloth-workers in Barra. The concert is conducted by Sir James MacMillan whose famous breakthrough work The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, another original commission for the BBC SSO and first performed at the BBC Proms in 1990, closes the concert.

Opera through the looking glass: Lewis Carroll meets classical music’s funniest living composer in Gerald Barry’s uproarious new opera.
The surreal imagination of Carroll collides with the off-the-wall humour of the composer in what’ll surely be the most entertaining operatic premiere of the year. Nothing’s as it seems: apart from a knockout cast conducted by Thomas Adès.
The inimitable Barbara Hannigan sings the role of Alice – and if you saw her in Barry’s The Importance of Being Earnest, you definitely won’t want to miss her in this: Barry’s described it as ’the next logical step‘. The Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, described Barry’s last opera as ’completely bonkers‘ – which is probably nearer the mark. Only a Mad Hatter would miss Alice.

Forget what you thought you knew about orchestral concerts; this new and innovative series requests that you DO turn on your mobile phones and tablets.
The BBC Philharmonic, in partnership with the University of Salford, will be exploring new and rarely performed pieces – bringing audience immersion and new technology to the forefront.
Bring your devices and help us explore a new way of experiencing an orchestra.
This evening:
Matthew Barley returns as soloist in Haydn’s sunny Cello Concerto, alongside a rare opportunity to experience the strange sound-worlds conjured up by three works from the 20th century European avant garde: Hungarian György Ligeti’s Ramifications (1968); Italian Salvatore Sciarrrino’s Autorittrato Nella Notte (‘Self portrait in the Night’, 1982) and local lad Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s Carmen Arcadiae Mechanicae Perpetuum (‘perpetual song of mechanical paradise’, 1977).
At the interval, join our host Elizabeth Alker (BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio 3) for an interval discussion, before some of the repertoire will be repeated - inviting you to listen again with fresh ears.

John Adams conducts his sparkling opera-oratorio El Niño, a contemporary re-imagining of the traditional nativity story told from different perspectives.
No composer in recent history has made a bigger impression in the world of opera than John Adams. Time and again his operas and works for the stage have struck a balance between the old and the new – classical forms live comfortably alongside contemporary musical techniques and traditional stories and narratives find relevance in the modern day.
El Niño explores the issues surrounding the traditional nativity story paying particular attention to the character of Mary and the journey of motherhood. The libretto, compiled by Adams himself, draws on a variety of sources from pre-Christian prophets to twentieth century Hispanic female writers. Adams responds to his text and chosen subject with music of astounding diversity and unabashed brilliance.

Journey into a frozen wilderness
From the delicacy of a single snowflake, whispering as it falls from the sky, to vast, impenetrable snowdrifts – Hans Abrahamsen’s monumental artwork Schnee is an all-encompassing experience. In this hour-long tour de force Abrahamsen uses a series of interlocking canons to create a magnificent and ethereal piece of musical architecture. The loneliness and quietude of this frozen landscape finds resonance in Simon Holt’s piccolo concerto – Fool is Hurt – a work inspired by the isolation of the central character in the Federico Fellini film La Strada.

The BBC SO’s brass section shines as soloists in this world premiere of Diana Burrell’s new concerto which is followed by Haydn and his clucking hen. Stravinsky’s The Firebird – the work that seized the ears of Paris’s elite with its urgent rhythms and evocative Russian folk melodies – offers a splendid ending to a colourful concert.

Hear and Now - Scottish Inspirations
City Halls
Glasgow
Scotland
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Martin Roscoe piano
Thomas Dausgaard conductor
An evening of new music with the BBC SSO, all with Scottish connections…
Sally Beamish’s new piano concerto is inspired by her family and the famous whirlpool at Corryvreckan; here it is premiered by its dedicatee, Martin Roscoe. Helen Grime, meanwhile, finds inspiration in a painting by Joan Eardley while Jay Capperauld’s Fèin-Aithne (a Scots Gaelic phrase that translates as ‘self-knowledge’) explores identity in modern-day Scotland.
The concert ends with the Scottish Premiere of the late Peter Maxwell Davies’s Ninth Symphony, a single movement work which makes use of an off-stage brass sextet to both ambiguously celebrate and question military music. The Symphony was hailed at its premiere as a “brilliantly crafted work” (The Sunday Times) and “indisputably one of Maxwell Davies’s most engaged orchestral works” (The Guardian). The orchestra’s new Chief Conductor Thomas Dausgaard conducts.
The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
(Catterline in Winter, Helen Grime’s first Eardley Picture, will be performed by the BBC SSO on Thursday 22 September 2016)
Helen Grime : Snow (No.2 from Two Eardley Pictures)
