Friday, January 10, 2014 at 1.10pm CBSO Centre Stage - Lars Vogt CBSO Centre Berkley Street. B1 2LF United Kingdom http://www.bcmg.org.uk info@bcmg.org.uk
Tickets: £9.50 Lars Vogt piano
Zoë Beyers violin
Eduardo Vassallo cello
Part of the CBSO Centre Stage season, a series of 50-minute informal and friendly concerts finding the performers ‘at home’ in the CBSO Centre.
Emotion recollected in tranquility: the young Brahms was tormented by an impossible love. Years later, he re-crafted his Op.8 into a trio which distills youthful ardour into music of epic power and deep poetry. Today, it’s the personal choice of one of the world’s greatest living pianists – the incomparable Lars Vogt, who will be performing in close quarters at CBSO Centre.

Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 7.30pm Ilan Volkov conducts Beethoven, Boulez and Grisey Barbican Hall, London Barbican, Silk Street, London EC2 United Kingdom 020 7638 8891 http://www.barbican.org.uk/eticketing
Tickets: £10-£32 Ilan Volkov conductor
Nicolas Hodges piano
BBC Singers
Beethoven’s powerful Seventh Symphony is prefaced by a trio of beguiling modern French works in the first of two concerts pairing Beethoven with recent French music. The BBC Singers have had great success with Boulez’s now-classic work cummings ist der Dichter, which sets the poetry of ee cummings for vocal ensemble and chamber orchestra. Conductor Ilan Volkov, known for his high-voltage performances and radical programmes, presents the UK premiere of Hugues Dufourt’s piano concerto with Nicolas Hodges as soloist. Dufourt’s own world of sonorities reflects that of one of France’s greatest 20th century composers, Gérard Grisey. In his monumental early work Mégalithes, 15 brass players scattered around the hall hurl sonic clusters of shimmering dissonance into the auditorium – a not-to-be-missed experience.

Thursday, January 23, 2014 at 7.30pm Jack Quartet Wigmore Hall, London 36 Wigmore St, London W1 United Kingdom 02079352141 http://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk
Tickets: £15-£30 JACK Quartet
The JACK Quartet’s concerts prove time and again that we belong to a golden age of chamber music composition, one in which creative diversity and difference are encouraged and celebrated.
This programme, devised by Wigmore Hall’s Composer in Residence Julian Anderson, opens with a seminal work composed in 1931 by Ohio-born Ruth Crawford Seeger, the first woman to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, and closes with Horaţiu Rădulescu’s evocatively titled Fifth String Quartet of 1995.
Brian Ferneyhough’s wild Exordium, written in honour of Elliott Carter’s 100th birthday in 2008, stands in bold contrast to Julian Anderson’s ‘Light Music’ and the world première of a new score by Christopher Trapani, winner of the 2007 Gaudeamus Prize.
Ruth Crawford Seeger : String Quartet Christopher Trapani : New work Brian Ferneyhough : Exordium Julian Anderson : String Quartet No. 1 ‘Light Music’ Horaţiu Rădulescu : String Quartet No. 5 ‘before the universe was born’

Friday, January 24, 2014 at 7.30pm Max Richter: Memoryhouse Barbican Hall, London Barbican, Silk Street, London EC2 United Kingdom 020 7638 8891 http://www.barbican.org.uk/eticketing
Tickets: £17.50 - 25 Performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra with Max Richter, conducted by André de Ridder
Contemporary composer Max Richter premieres his 2002 debut album Memoryhouse with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by André de Ridder.
An homage to Europe and the haunting power of memories, Memoryhouse is the stunning album that announced Max Richter as a major talent. With echoes of his earlier collaborations with Roni Size and electronic duo FSOL, influences of post-rock acts such as Sigur Rós and classical forebears like Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass, this work shows the unique mix of contemporary classical and electronics that would become the signature language in Richter’s musical universe.
