Steve Reich & Colin Currie*
Colin Currie Group
Synergy Vocals
If you enjoyed the Philip Glass Ensemble in the 2014 Festival, you will love this.
Steve Reich is the godfather of Minimalism and ‘Clapping’ is the essence of that style. Two people (Colin Currie with Reich himself) clap a short repeated rhythm that is phased in and out of focus, creating three minutes of mesmerising, interlocking rhythms.
At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Music for 18 Musicians’ is one of Reich’s large-scale masterpieces. Four grand pianos, marimbas, xylophones, female vocalists, strings and clarinets combine to create pulsing rhythms, shifting patterns and long-breathed phrases that build like waves. The effect is overwhelming.

BBC Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale
BBC Maida Vale Studios, London
Maida Vale One, Delaware Road, London
United Kingdom
02085761227
Continuing its focus on rarely-performed British music this autumn, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Michael Seal give a concert of music by Malcolm Arnold, Britten and Adrian Sutton at Maida Vale Studios.
Malcolm Arnold's fifth symphony is a remembrance of four of his friends who tragically died at a young age. With its underlying dark tensions, and Adagio, it has a clear Mahlerian influence, and was said to be the composer's favourite of his nine symphonies. Hear Britten's highly virtuosic Diversions for Piano Left Hand and Orchestra performed by the gifted young pianist and BBC New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov, plus a new short orchestral piece by Adrian Sutton, composer for the National Theatre's production of War Horse.
This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3's Afternoon on 3.
Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.
Adrian Sutton : A Fist Full of Fives
Benjamin Britten : Diversions, Op 21
Malcolm Arnold : Symphony no. 5, op. 74

BEAT FURRER: FAMA

When Beat Furrer’s FAMA was premiered in Germany in 2005 it was hailed as ‘a miracle’ by Die Zeit. Now, after a decade of performances across Europe, this masterpiece of sound theatre finally arrives in the UK.
Based on the novella Fräulein Else by Arthur Schnitzler, FAMA follows the story of a distressed young woman forced into prostitution in order to pay her father’s debts. But in Furrer’s music, nothing is as it first appears: linear time seems to dissolve and a momentary snapshot becomes the subject of an intense narrative, as Furrer gives audible expression to a series of shocking events.

Kevin Volans Spotlight

BCMG
Kevin Volans is one of the world’s least predictable and most distinctive composers. Early in his career Volans studied in Cologne with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mauricio Kagel and was previously listed by BBC Music Magazine as one of the 50 most important living composers. Today, Volans’ music is regularly performed by many of the top international orchestras and ensembles.
His first commission for BCMG, the quiet and contemplative The Partenheimer Project, was premiered in 2008 at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery. His second promises to be a substantial, high-energy and spectacular piece for piano and ensemble. The internationally acclaimed Barry Douglas joins BCMG to premiere Piano Concerto No. 4 – the first Sound Investment premiere of the scheme’s 25th anniversary year.
