Tremplin / Cursus 2
IRCAM/Centre Pompidou-Grande salle-Paris

France

Tickets: 14€
Ensemble intercontemporain | Conductor Susanna Mälkki | IRCAM Computer Music Design Rune Glerup | IRCAM Pedagogical Advisor Jean Lochard

Selected by a jury, these artists from the four corners of the globe have the possibility of working with the musicians from the Ensemble intercontemporain or studying at IRCAM during the second year of the Cursus program for computer music. The results of this laboratory are found in the Tremplin concerts where the creations of young composers are performed together with works from the youth of their elders, in this case, the Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg. Now with worldwide renown, Lindberg shook up the beginning of the 1980s with the fierce, energetic, malleable expression of his music.

Time to celebrate! Glinka's Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla has been called a musical firecracker – so what better way to launch Peter Oundjian's very first concert as RSNO Music Director? That's just the start of this thrilling all-Russian programme, which sweeps from the heart-melting song of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto – played by the superb Vadim Gluzman – to the revolutionary fervour of Shostakovich's mighty Eleventh Symphony. Be there, as we raise a glass to a very special night for Scottish music.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Marking Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's 60th birthday, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra presents the UK Premiere of her song cycle, Adriana Songs. Derived from music written for her operatic heroine, the songs confront the personal horrors of war through haunting music of barely contained violence and great imagination.

The concert also includes music from her compatriot Magnus Lindberg, praised by the New York Times for its ‘wondrous sounds' and Johannes Maria Staud's response to the Polish writer and artist Bruno Schultz. Matthias Pintscher, the BBC SSO's Artist-in-Association, conducts.

Paul Hillier conductor
Theatre of Voices
Sound Intermedia

The London Sinfonietta join forces with Denmark's Theatre of Voices and conductor Paul Hillier to perform a portrait concert of Danish composer Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, one of the key musical figures in Denmark of the New Simplicity movement during the 1970s. Since then, Gudmundsen-Holmgreen’s music has often consisted of simple, clearly defined, richly contrasting – sometimes grotesque – objects that intertwine along independent paths. The world premiere of Run, plus Scandanavian premieres of Play and Company will feature.

About this concert

In celebration of Edwin Roxburgh’s 75th Birthday (6 October 2012), David Takeno, Eugene Ysaÿe International Chair of the Violin at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, has commissioned a new work from the composer: this will be its world première performance.

Schumann’s late Märchenbilder (Fairy tale pictures) and Hindemith’s first viola Sonata Op. 11 No. 4 are two masterpieces of the viola repertoire. Rachmaninov’s beloved cello sonata concludes the programme, in a version for viola and piano made by the great Russian violist Vadim Borisovsky.
