Seven Angels
CBSO Centre, Birmingham
Berkley Street, Birmingham
United Kingdom
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.

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
