They carried a message as well as a picture. If we were on holidays, the picture might evoke something of the flavour of the place we were visiting; or the image might serve as a reflection of our humour. The message itself might express the briefest greeting or ramble endlessly, in tiny scribbles, all round the back of the card, barely leaving space for address and stamp. These particular postcards were written to my old friend, Anthony Gilbert. They are ruminations on gesture: musical gestures, gestures of movements by dancers, puppets, marionettes – evocations, responses, and, not least, the physical gestures of our hands on the keyboard as we play them 1: The first postcard is obviously a visit to a French overture. -

Brian Ferneyhough
Brian Ferneyhough Contemporary Biography Brian Ferneyhough Brian Ferneyhough is widely recognized as one of today’s foremost living composers. Since the mid-1970s, when he first gained widespread international recognition, his music has earned him an enviable reputation as one of the most influential creative personalities and significant musical thinkers on the contemporary scene. Ferneyhough was born in Coventry on 16 January 1943. His early musical experiences occurred in the informal context of local music-making in his native city. Later, he enrolled at the Birmingham School of Music, and then at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he studied briefly under Lennox Berkeley. In 1968, following the award of the Mendelsohn Scholarship, he went to Amsterdam to study with Ton de Leeuw, and the following year a further scholarship allowed him to pursue his studies with Klaus Huber at the Basel Conservatoire. During this early period, his work began to attract attention, being awarded prizes in three successive years at the Gaudeamus Composers’ Competition (1968-70). Two years later Firecycle Beta was given an honourable mention (second place) by the Italian section of the ISCM, which also awarded Ferneyhough a special prize in 1974 for Time and Motion Study III as the best work submitted in all categories. In the same year, the performance of several of his works at the Royan Festival established Ferneyhough as one of the most brilliant and controversial figures of a new generation of composers. By then, Ferneyhough had discovered a parallel vocation as a teacher of composition. Thanks to Klaus Huber’s enduring support, he was appointed onto the teaching staff of the Freiburger Musikhochschule in 1973, remaining there until 1986. -

ROGER REYNOLDS | CELEBRATION 80 February 3-5, 2015 ROGER REYNOLDS Photo credit: Malcolm Crowthers Photo credit: Joseph Kirkish b. 1934 ROGER REYNOLDS | CELEBRATION 80 February 3-5, 2015 Born in Detroit in 1934, Reynolds commands a reputation as a bold explorer of what he likes to describe as the multilayered character of experience. For example, his works are known for engaging listeners with the spatial dimension of music and with a revelatory, complexly theatrical approach to text and voice. An excellent example can be found with george WASHINGTON. At the beginning of its season in September 2013, the National Symphony Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach gave the world premiere of george WASHINGTON, a work commissioned in conjunction with the recent opening of the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington. Collaborating with such colleagues as the intermedia artist Ross Karre and others, Reynolds designed george WASHINGTON as a continuous work in five interconnected sections that create a complex, nuanced portrait of the first president through an amalgam of musical score, narrators portraying Washington (in his own words) from three stages in his life, and continually morphing visuals projected onto three screens. The work dramatizes an ongoing and overlapping dialogue among different aspects of Washington’s personality over the course of his life, across time. Reynolds got a relatively late start on his career as a composer, having graduated with a degree in engineering physics and after working briefly in the -

Based in London since 1993, he has pursued an active international career, performing in 24 countries and at most major European venues and festivals. His absolutely vast repertoire of all periods focuses particularly upon music of the 20th and 21st Century.

Arditti Quartet Irvine Arditti (Violin), Ashot Sarkissjan (Violin), Ralf Ehlers (Viola), Lucas Fels (Cello)
ARDITTI QUARTET IRVINE ARDITTI (VIOLIN), ASHOT SARKISSJAN (VIOLIN), RALF EHLERS (VIOLA), LUCAS FELS (CELLO) Biography The Arditti Quartet enjoys a global reputation for their spirited and technically refined interpretations of contemporary and earlier 20th century music. Several hundred string quartets and other chamber works have been written for the ensemble since its foundation by first violinist Irvine Arditti in 1974. These works have left a permanent mark on 20th century repertoire and have given the Arditti Quartet a firm place in music history. Such composers as Adès, Aperghis, Birtwistle, Cage, Carter, Dufourt, Dusapin, Fedele, Ferneyhough, Francesconi, Gubaidulina, Harvey, Hosokawa, Kagel, Kurtág, Lachenmann, Ligeti, Nancarrow, Rihm, Scelsi, Sciarrino and Stockhausen have entrusted the world premieres of their music to them, and the quartet’s repertoire comprises all of the string quartets of many of the above composers and others. The ensemble believes that close collaboration with composers is vital to the process of interpreting modern music and therefore attempts to collaborate with every composer whose works it plays. Teaching for many years at the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music, the players have given numerous master classes and workshops for young performers and composers all over the world. The Arditti Quartet’s extensive discography now features well over 180 CDs. 42 discs have so far been released as part of the ensemble’s continuing series on the French label Naïve Montaigne alone. The series presents numerous contemporary composer features as well as the first digital recordings of the complete Second Viennese School’s string quartet music. Renowned for recording many composers’ works in their presence, the quartet recorded the complete quartets of Luciano Berio shortly before his death. -
