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.
Morgan Hayes : New Work

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Jukka-Pekka Saraste conductor
An invigorating concert featuring the world premiere of a Concerto for Brass and Orchestra, Haydn’s Symphony No 83 amusingly nicknamed ‘The Hen’, and Stravinsky’s epic The Firebird.
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)
Sally Beamish : Piano Concerto No 2 'Cauldron of the Speckled Seas'

Thanks to Jérôme Thomas, juggling is now recognized in France as a unique and distinct art. Conceptualized for a septet which includes a juggler, Dels dos principis is the fruit of an already established collaboration between the artist and the composer Henry Fourès. "Through the intervention of music technology and its new tools, the gestural characteristics are translated, manipulated and composed in a veritable chamber music score." Henry Fourès. Purely electronic works presented as solos, duos, and quartets of circus artists will complete the evening. PLAK and Elastic were developed during the In vivo Électro workshop during IRCAM's 2016 ManiFeste academy.
