CBSO Youth Chorus
‘One of Britain’s greatest living artists,’ says The Guardian of Oliver Knussen, ‘he has added beauty to the world.’ Now, in his 60th birthday year, we’re delighted to welcome him back to Birmingham for a concert that tingles with colour. Ravel’s sumptuous homage to Schubert and Berg’s Klimt-like Altenberg-Lieder (both written in 1912), together with Debussy’s gorgeous Nocturnes, provide a stunning setting for Knussen’s own extraordinary Whitman Settings, sung by the magnificent Claire Booth. Join us in celebrating a true living legend.
Maurice Ravel : Valses nobles et sentimentales
Oliver Knussen : Whitman Settings
Alban Berg : Altenberg-Lieder
Claude Debussy : Nocturnes

Einstein on the Beach
Barbican Hall, London

Tickets: £35 - 125
Widely credited as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the 20th century, this rarely performed work launched its director Robert Wilson and composer Philip Glass to international success when it was first produced at the Metropolitan Opera in 1976.
It is still recognised as one of their greatest masterpieces. Now, nearly four decades after it was first performed and twenty years since its last production, Einstein on the Beach will be reconstructed bringing this ground-breaking work to new audiences and an entirely new generation.
Einstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement, Glass chose to compose the work for the synthesisers, woodwinds and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main storytelling device shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs. It is structured in four interconnected acts and divided by a series of short scenes or “knee plays”. Taking place over five hours, there is no intermission, however the audience is invited to enter and exit at liberty during the performance

London Sinfonietta at Sounds New
Augustine Hall
Canterbury
United Kingdom
London Sinfonietta
Conductor to be confirmed
London Sinfonietta perform an all-British programme, including Peter Maxwell Davies' 1977 classic A Mirror of Whitening Light , the title of which refers to both the alchemical purification process of turning a base metal into gold, and the point where the Atlantic and North seas meet, which the composer considers to be a huge alchemical crucible.
The programme will also include George Benjamin's At First Light , commissioned and premiered by the London Sinfonietta in 1982. The work was inspired by Turner's oil painting, Norham Castle, Sunrise which depicts the 12th century castle silhouetted against a huge, golden sun.
Frame/Refrain by Edmund Finnis, a London Sinfonietta Writing the Future 2011 composer, and Momentum by Benjamin Oliver, will also feature.
Oliver Knussen : Coursing
George Benjamin : At First Light
Edmund Finnis : At First Light
Simon Bainbridge : Concertante in moto perpetuo
Benjamin Oliver : Momentum
Peter Maxwell Davies : Mirrror of Whitening Light
