THE RIOT ENSEMBLE
Spitalfields Festival
London
United Kingdom
The Riot Ensemble
Exciting contemporary music group, The Riot Ensemble, offer an explosive exploration of new music in their festival debut, pairing contemplative music by Serbian-Swedish composer Djuro Zivkovic, including the UK premiere of Night Music, with much-loved works by JS Bach, one of Zivkovic’s main influences. They’re also performing Moon Dance by the Winter Festival’s youngest composer, 10-year-old Marie-Louise Ptohos.
The Ensemble also premiere a new commission by Spanish composer Helga Arias Parra, who entered the Riot Ensemble’s 2015 ‘Call for Scores’, and describes her music as experimentation, risk and control in that exact order.”

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Rumon Gamba conductor
Join the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Rumon Gamba for a concert of contemporary music by Nordic composers at Maida Vale studios.

Rumon Gamba also conducts Dag Wirén's high-spirited Third Symphony and Harald Sæverud's protest against German occupation of Norway in his 1943 overture Kjempeviseslåtten (Ballad of Revolt).
This concert is broadcast live on BBC Radio 3’s ‘Afternoon on 3’

Jaap van Zweden conductor
Frank Peter Zimmermann violin
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Not until the upheavals of the 20th century would another composer conceive of a piece so controlled and driven by rhythm as Beethoven did in his Seventh Symphony. Here is a work in which you hear the controlling rhythms in almost every bar, whether in the propulsive energy of the outer movements or in the inevitable tread of the slow march. Beethoven’s most unusual, fascinating and bold symphony is preceded here by the world premiere of the Second Violin Concerto by Magnus Lindberg, just a month after the Orchestra’s performance of his first concerto for the instrument (11 November). Jaap van Zweden takes to the podium for this concert of bold orchestral statements.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo conductor
Colin Currie percussion
Chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the ascent of two great orchestral mountains by Hovhaness and Strauss, which frame a delightful new percussion concerto.
Mysterious Mountain is one of Alan Hovhaness's best-loved works, a symphony of spiritual transcendence and the perfect foil to Strauss's grandly ambitious alpine adventure. Dubbed 'the world's finest and most daring percussionist' Colin Currie is the dedicatee of Switch, a new work from the exciting young American composer Andrew Norman.
Alan Hovhaness : Symphony No 2, Mysterious Mountain
Andrew Norman : Switch
