Introduced by John Woolrich (BCMG Artist-in-Association)
Introduced by BCMG Artist-in-Association John Woolrich, this intimate concert juxtaposes uniquely personal works from two of the 20th century’s greatest composers.
Inspired by a dream in which three music boxes were pulled from the belly of a giant bird, Stockhausen’s Tierkreis (Zodiac), consists of 12 melodies, one for each sign of the Zodiac. These little tunes were originally written for specially made music boxes but can be played by any suitable instrument or even sung. Each is centred on a different chromatic pitch (Leo = A, Virgo A#, etc…) and has its own distinct tempo. BCMG cellist Ulrich Heinen, who owns some of Stockhausen’s original music boxes, performs his own specially made arrangements with pianist Malcolm Wilson.
It’s rare for all 34 of Berio’s Duetti for two violins to be performed in a single concert. Just as the Stockhausen melodies encapsulate characteristics ascribed to the 12 star signs, so Berio’s Duetti are in part little vignettes of his friends. Each duet bears the friend’s name in its title – many of them artists or musicians – with their personality or a particular memory connected to them providing inspiration for the music. Amongst the honoured 34 are Igor (Stravinsky), Pierre (Boulez), Edoardo (Sanguinetti) and Bruno (Maderna).
Excerpts from both Tierkreis and Duetti were given captivating performances by these players last season at the Barber Institute and in BCMG’s Family and Schools’ Concerts respectively. Anyone lucky enough to have seen these concerts knows what a treat the two complete cycles in one evening will be.

Mozart: “Great” Mass in C Minor
Wachner: ‘Come, My Dark-Eyed One’
(Washington Premiere)
The Washington Chorus opens its 51st season with the Washington premiere of a major new work by Music Director Julian Wachner, an acclaimed composer with over 100 published works. ‘Come, My Dark-Eyed One’ combines passionate and dramatic music with poetry by Sarah Teasdale, e.e. cummings, John Clare, Emily Dickinson, Alfred Tennyson and famed Turkik poet Ali-Shir Nava’i whose poem forms the core and title of the work. It speaks of two lovers’ lives and how that great love transcends death itself.
This major work for chorus, soloists and orchestra is paired with one of Mozart’s most profound and majestic works, the Great Mass in C Minor, which stands with his famous Requiem as two of the crowning achievements in the choral repertoire.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Great Mass in C Minor
Julian Wachner : Come, My Dark-Eyed One

An Evening of Music and Conversation with Peter Wiegold
CBSO Centre
Berkley Street. B1 2LF
United Kingdom
http://www.bcmg.org.uk
info@bcmg.org.uk
Tickets: In advance: £8 / £5 under 16s // On the door: £10 concession / £6 under 16s
Keyboard: Peter Wiegold
BCMG Players: Marcus Barcham-Stevens (violin)
Timothy Lines (clarinet)
Simon Limbrick (percussion)
Ben Markland (double bass)
Peter Wiegold in conversation with Stephen Newbould, plus a devised/improvised quartet programme.
Peter Wiegold is a versatile musician, composer, conductor, teacher and writer. He has a unique way of working with fellow musicians, creating and devising pieces where some parts of the music might be fixed in rehearsal but where much is left to the spontaneity of performance. This he does through a repertoire of specially-devised signals which shape the music in real time. During the evening Peter will discuss his fascinating approach to music-making with BCMG Artistic Director Stephen Newbould. With no set programme, this informal concert will make the most of Wiegold’s unique musical abilities to create an entertaining evening where the audience will see music devised live – perhaps with some suggestions by members of the audience.

The International Street Cannibals perform the multi-genre concert event, "A Place in France", on December 4th at 7:30pm, at the legendary venue of the main space of St. Mark's in-the-Bowery, 131 East 10th Street, New York City.
On December 4th, the ISC present "A Place in France", a program where clichés become anti-cliché, through the means of both intensification and de-contextualization. The event includes elements such as the can-can, the rituals of fencing, French culinary motifs, the image of the salon, and various American perceptions of French culture. Within a concert fabric that covers a range of familiar symbolic and iconographical vocabularies, the ISC mingle the traditional cultural tropes with the more vital components of the arts of France, producing both a friction and harmony between cliché and viable content. This aesthetic operation points up the actual processes of art, rather than its effects and exteriority.
Gene Pritsker : Digital Debussy
Gene Pritsker : Euro Trash Can
Olivier Messiaen : Intermede
Erik Satie : Choses Vue a Droit et a Gauche
Claude Debussy : L'isle joyeuse
