Friday, February 7, 2014 at 7pm Studio Concert: Knussen conducts Henze BBC Maida Vale Studios, London Maida Vale One, Delaware Road, London United Kingdom 02085761227
Tickets: Free BBCSO
Oliver Knussen conductor
Anssi Karttunen cello
Finnish cellist Anssi Karttunen joins the BBC SO for Henze’s Love Songs (1984–5). His orchestral fantasy Los caprichos (1963) was inspired by Goya’s series of etchings of the same name. Henze’s vast and varied output for the stage has made him an established name in the genre. His dynamic and haunting Ouverture zu einem Theater was premiered at the Deutsche Oper Berlin just before Henze passed away in October 2012.
This concert will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Hear & Now.

Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 7.30pm Ryan Wigglesworth Violin Concerto world premiere Bridgewater Hall, Manchester Lower Mosley Road United Kingdom 44 (0) 161 907 9000 http://www.halle.co.uk/publishedSite/aidsdayconcert.asp box@bridgewater-hall.co.uk
Tickets: £11-38 The Hallé
Ryan Wigglesworth conductor | Barnabas Kelemen violin
The Abraham Moss Memorial Concert.
Pre-concert talk at 6.30pm:
Ryan Wigglesworth talks about his work as conductor, pianist and composer, and particularly his Violin Concerto, which is tonight receiving its first performance in complete form.
Ryan Wigglesworth makes his Hallé concert debut with the Four Sea Interludes and Passacaglia from Britten’s great opera Peter Grimes. In these evocative works, the North Sea is as important (and unfathomable) a character as Grimes himself. Further down the coast of Britain, Debussy had put the finishing touches on his great triptych of seascapes La Mer, musical canvases suggesting the sea at different times of the day and in varying weather conditions. In between these briny masterpieces is an exciting opportunity to hear the world premiere of Ryan Wigglesworth’s revised Violin Concerto, unveiled by Barnabas Kelemen. Berlioz’s Le Roi Lear Overture was inspired by Shakespeare’s great tale of betrayal, self-discovery and redemption and even features Lear’s paternal address to his daughters and his furious ravings on ‘the blasted heath’.

Friday, February 21, 2014 at 7.30pm Quartet for the End of Time Kings Place Kings Cross, London United Kingdom
London Sinfonietta
"The most inspiringly spiritual piece I've ever played, it takes you into an extraordinarily suspended world of great beauty several miles above us."
London Sinfonietta Principal Pianist, John Constable
More than half a century since it was premiered, Messiaen’s masterpiece still sounds as fresh and contemporary as it did at its first performance.
Having inspired a new wave of experimental spirituality in music, from composers including Pärt, Górecki and Penderecki, the Quartet’s rippling colours and meditative harmonies are as modern as they are timeless.

Wednesday, February 26, 2014 at Boulevard Solitude Millennium Centre, Cardiff Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales United Kingdom
WNO
Sex, Drugs and Opera
Manon and Armand are in love. But can their love survive when a world of sex, drugs and crime intrudes on their happiness?
Henze’s powerful, intoxicating opera is a compelling vision of post-war Europe. Combining jazz, 19th century opera and 20th century styles - this is opera but not as you know it.
Award winning Theatre, Opera and Film Director Mariusz Trelinski sets his production against a gritty, cinematic backdrop of an underground station where temptation and lust lurk around every corner.
Boulevard Solitude is performed by a world-class cast alongside the WNO Chorus and Orchestra. Join us for an evening at the theatre which promises to overwhelm the senses.
