Composer Mehdi Hosseini's "Monodies" in concert POST SCRIPTUM
Saint-Petersburg State Conservatory
3 Teatralnaya sq.
Russia
http://petersburgcity.com/news/culture/2012/02/24/Mehdi-Hosseini_240212/

Presenting “Post Scriptum” Monday, March 12th 2012 in the Chamber Hall of the Saint-Petersburg Conservatory. Iranian composer Mehdi Hosseini’s “Monodies” will be performed by the New music ensemble Sound Ways under the direction of American conductor Brad Everett Cawyer. Mr. Hosseini has dedicated this work to 20th century Italian composer Luciano Berio. Its world premier was in the Glinka Hall of the Saint-Petersburg State Philharmonic on the opening day of the 23rd International New Music Festival “Sound Ways.”

Hosseini often uses the word monodies not only as the title of his composition, but also as a musical term; by which he means the characteristics of single voice structures, adapting themselves to any musical texture. The composer recently had a new recording published in Tehran, which also takes on the title Monodis. For this album he collected compositions which were written based on regional folk tunes from different parts of Iran. The album was recorded in Russia by well-known local soloists, ensembles, and the Saint-Petersburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and State Academic Orchestra. All of the compositions were written between 2003 and 2009.

In the last few years, Mehdi Hosseini has been actively participating in contemporary music projects local to St. Petersburg, the “Cultural Capital of Russia.” His music is regularly performed in such festivals as St. Petersburg Musical Spring, Contemporary East and West, Contemporary Past, Sound Ways and others. His music has been performed in concert by orchestras such as The St. Petersburg State Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra and more. Works of Hosseini have been published by theCompozitor Publishing House Saint-Petersburg.

Hosseini made an invaluable contribution to the development of the St. Petersburg cultural scene in 2010 when he opened the St. Petersburg Contemporary Music Center “reMusik.org”

Iranian composer Mehdi Hosseini was born in 1979 in Tehran. Hosseini began his musical training in Iran, studying Persian music and the fundaments of composition under the guidance of Farhad Fakhreddini.

Following his studies in Iran, Hosseini finished his Master’s degree at the St. Petersburg State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory with Professor Alexander Minatsakanian and his Doctor of Music degree (DMA) in Composition with Sergei Slonimsky. Hosseini also studied composition with composer Nigel Osborn, worked on problems of music theory under the direction of professor T. Bershadskaya, and is presently a Doctoral Candidate of Musicology at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory.

The UK premiere of a new opera takes a roller-coaster ride through life in the company of fate. Leading British opera composer Judith Weir transposes the Sicilian folktale Misfortune to today as the daughter of a rich family turns her back on wealth to make her own way in the world – too often with unfortunate results. Not many operas combine great music with breakdancing and a burning kebab van, but Miss Fortune does all this and more under the direction of Chen Shi-Zheng (his spectacular staging of Monkey: Journey to the West was presented at the Royal Opera House in 2008). This new, approachable and engaging opera had its premiere at the Bregenz Festival in summer 2011 and now comes to the Royal Opera stage with the same acclaimed cast – Emma Bell sings the title role and former Jette Parker Young Artist singer Jacques Imbrailo plays her eventual love Simon. Paul Daniel conducts this effective and atmospheric score in a visually beautiful and inventive production whose story is funny, touching, moral and contemporary. Miss Fortune continues the series of high-profile new works of recent years that have included Anna Nicole, The Tempest and The Minotaur. With the added impact of the world-class Royal Opera Chorus Judith Weir’s Miss Fortune is a highlight of this Royal Opera Season.

Richard Uttley began piano lessons at the age of nine. He studied with Ian Buckle at the Junior School of the Royal Northern College of Music before reading music at Clare College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a double first in Music in 2008. His dance-inspired programme contrasts the precision of Bach with the clarity and the deft colours of Debussy. Richard completed his Master’s of Performance (with Distinction) in September 2010 at the Guildhall School of Music in Drama in London, where he studied with Martin Roscoe.

Circus Tricks by Michael Henry & Adey Grummet is set in the spellbinding, fleeting world of the circus, where laughter is tragic, tears are hilarious and wonder both wrenches the heart and makes it soar!

The knife thrower’s assistant cannot stand the pain of her secret love for the knife thrower, an acrobat fights the world through the bottle, his brother struggles to catch him one more time, the trapeze artist is entranced by the pursuit of a single moment of weightlessness, the horse dreams of running in straight lines and the contortionist is just plain lonely.

And then there’s the elephant…

City Halls

Stephen De Pledge piano*
Otto Tausk conductor
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra



The BBC SSO presents an evening of music by composers from New Zealand and Australia, many of them European Premieres.

Edinburgh-based composer Lyell Creswell's Piano Concerto, written for a close friend, is by turns melancholic, angry, and contemplative, while Jack Body's Little Elegies was composed in response to the horrors of war. Liza Lim's work has been acclaimed for its vibrancy and colour and the orchestra gives the UK Premiere of one of her new works while Helen Bowater's New Year Fanfare re-captures a raucous Hogmanay in Java.

Expect vibrancy, energy and some exotic instrumentation as the countries' composers fuse European, Pacific and Asian influences to stunning effect under the direction of the young Dutch conductor Otto Tausk.

Tickets: Free (unreserved seating) limited to 4 tickets per application (children under age of 12 not admitted) (booking fee may apply).

This concert will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3's regular late-night Saturday programme Hear and Now.

"Above, a strident stone shatters." At the beginning of Droben Schmettert ein greller Stein, a drama by Michael Jarrell, the harmonic pizzicato of the solo bass that fathers the rich harmonic universe of a gripping work, rooted in the low register.

Kenji Sakai, a student of Jarrell's in Geneva, developed his own art of orchestration during his time at IRCAM, and today uses the resources made available in this field by computer music applications: targets, screens, and new possibilities of timbre combinations.

In this concert created by Grame, the Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain, and IRCAM, the work by Ondøej Adámek refuses neither the slightest timbre effect nor acoustic illusion. Since his work, Nôise, we have been aware of the Czech composer's proximity with Japan and of his interest in the voice: ranting, speaking, or singing. He is inspired here by Japanese mechanical dolls, by perfection, and by the concentration of a living mechanism.

2011 marked the 35th anniversary of Anne-Sophie Mutter’s Lucerne Festival debut at the age of 13. Ever since, the renowned German virtuoso has been an advocate of new music. Lutoslawski wrote his Partita for her in 1984; a work considered among the finest for violin and piano since 1945. In a programme revealing the full breadth of her musicianship, Anne-Sophie Mutter performs a youthful work by Mozart; Schubert’s technically demanding Fantasy, concluding with an epic Sonata by Saint-Saëns.

‘Mutter’s gold thread is reduced to a dusky murmur, before shifting through tones as subtle as they are various. Orkis’s contribution is equally vital…pedalling up a penumbra of resonance to balance Mutter’s whispers.’ - The Sunday Times

St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra
Yuri Temirkanov conductor
Simon Trpèeski piano

There’s nothing like seeing a legendary Russian orchestra unleashing the full power and passion of the great Russian masterworks. The St Petersburg Philharmonic enjoyed close associations with both Prokofiev and Shostakovich, whose works they perform tonight, alongside Rachmaninov’s richly romantic Second Piano Concerto with virtuoso Simon Trpèeski.

Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall, recommends tonight’s concert: “A few years ago I got to hear the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra perform under its conductor, Yuri Temirkanov, in its home city – I’ve never forgotten what a wonderful experience it was… this all-Russian programme looks to be a knockout.”

On Friday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m., New York–based chamber ensemble Circadia will perform The Past Is Prologue. Four modern composers re-imagine music of the past, from the church vocal music of the German Renaissance to Elizabethan court music, from vaudeville to bebop—and finally to music from a culture that never actually existed.

Charles Wuorinen's Bearbeitungen über das Glogauer Liederbuch is a kaleidoscopic development of 15th-century church vocal music preserved in the songbook of a German cathedral. Thomas Adès' Court Studies from The Tempest is an evocative arrangement for clarinet, strings and piano from the composer's operatic setting of the Shakespeare play. Dan Cooper's Trio for Flute, Clarinet and Piano channels vaudeville, bebop, and other styles in a collection of concise little movements. Steven Mackey set out to create a completely original work which still evokes the distant past in Indigenous Instruments. With retuned strings and a vocabulary of primitive sounds, Mackey draws us into a soundscape that could have been but never was.

Founded in 1998, Circadia is committed to exploring and expanding the chamber music repertoire for winds, especially in combination with other instruments. Through concerts as well as education and outreach appearances, the members of our ensemble seek to introduce new audiences to chamber works ranging from the familiar to the innovative.
