Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 12pm Brett Dean Gertrude Fragments Buxton Festival 3 The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire SK17 6AZ United Kingdom 01298 70395 http://www.buxtonfestival.co.uk/ lee@buxtonfestival.co.uk
Andrey Lebedev, guitar; Lotte Betts-Dean, mezzo-soprano
Both these exciting artists are already much travelled, and not only because they hail from Australia but have now settled in London, although Andrey moved there shortly after his birth in Moscow. The pairing of Mezzo-Soprano with Guitar has produced a programme full of exquisite delicacy, combining music from 4 composers all of whom had an exceptional innate sympathy with both guitar and the voice. Both artists share a passion for breaking boundaries across repertoire, which is both refreshing and inspirational. They have found connections such as between Britten and Dowland, and Brett Dean is without doubt one of the most successful and accessible of today’s composers.

Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 6pm Ryan Wigglesworth Premiere Cheltenham Festival
United Kingdom
The Hallé
Roderick Williams baritone
Jonathon Heyward conductor
Hailed by Mark Elder as ‘a bright rising star’, American conductor Jonathon Heyward takes to the Town Hall stage with one of the Music Festival’s long-standing favourites, The Hallé.
Alongside one of the most beloved of romantic symphonies, and Mahler’s ‘songs of a wayfarer’ performed by captivating baritone Roderick Williams, Ryan Wigglesworth’s new work is inspired by themes from his 2017 opera for ENO, The Winter’s Tale, and is a co-commission with The Hallé, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Bergen Philharmonic.

Wednesday, July 19, 2017 at 7.30pm John Casken Kokoschka’s Doll Buxton Festival 3 The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire SK17 6AZ United Kingdom 01298 70395 http://www.buxtonfestival.co.uk/ lee@buxtonfestival.co.uk
Sir John Tomlinson, bass-baritone/ speaker; Rozanna Madylus, mezzo-soprano
The Art of Love Alma Mahler’s Life and Music: a sequence incorporating music by Alma and Gustav Mahler, Zemlinsky, Webern and Wagner
John Casken Kokoschka’s Doll (text by John Casken and Barry Millington)
From the middle of the 20th century onwards a fascination with Gustav Mahler’s music has gone hand in hand with exploration of his unique tortured sensibilities, and been coloured by his emotionally turbulent marriage to the extraordinary Alma Schindler. This imaginative programme, characteristic of Counterpoise’s keen focus on the blend of words with music in heightened dramatic settings, looks at Alma’s intense relationship with her husband, his music and that of his contemporaries, and brings a newly commissioned work for Sir John Tomlinson by the eminent composer John Casken. Counterpoise’s innovative projects always make for thought provoking and affecting music drama. This new work explores the passionate and overwrought relationship between Alma and expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka, promising a moving and striking concert event to remember, with unequivocally one of our generation’s most prominent and well-loved artists.

ID, Please is an opera for the age of Brexit and Trump, set at border control and exploring themes of immigration, identity and xenophobia. The work took on new relevance when its British-Iranian composer was almost prevented from attending rehearsals in the US as part of the first ‘Muslim Ban’.

Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 7.30pm Erkki-Sven Tüür, Mozart and Brahms Royal Albert Hall, London Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP United Kingdom 020 7589 8212 http://www.royalalberthall.com/ boxofficeenquiries@royalalberthall.com
The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and its Artistic Director Paavo Järvi return to the Proms, joined by British violist Lawrence Power and Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang for Mozart’s genial Sinfonia concertante. Sitting somewhere between a concerto and a symphony, it’s a perfect showcase for the virtuosity of this ensemble and its sunny good humour offers a striking contrast to Erkki-Sven Tüür’s arresting Flamma – a vivid musical portrait of fire as both purifying force and agent of destruction.
Smoke clears and sunshine returns in Brahms’s optimistic Second Symphony, with its free-flowing melodies and irrepressible closing dance.
Erkki-Sven Tuur : Flamma Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Sinfonia concertante in E flat major, K 364 Johannes Brahms : Symphony No 2 in D major
