JUST ANNOUNCED UK Premiere Screening Beth Gibbons JUST ANNOUNCED UK premiere Screening Beth Gibbons: Henryk Górecki – Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki Thu 28 Mar 2019, Barbican Cinema 1, 7.15pm Tickets £12 plus booking fee Barbican audiences get the chance to attend the UK premiere screening of Beth Gibbons’ and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra under conductor Krzysztof Penderecki’s performance of Henryk Górecki’s Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs), which took place at The National Opera Grand Theatre in Warsaw on 29 November 2014. This Barbican screening will be introduced by the project’s Musical Director Jason Hazeley and Beth Gibbons will also be in attendance. Both an audio and film recording of the Warsaw performance will be out on 29 March 2019 (Domino). Following an invitation to collaborate at this concert, Beth Gibbons had to tackle the challenge of learning the original text (and the emotional weight it carries) without speaking the Polish language, but her performance alongside maestro Penderecki was received with great critical acclaim. Beth Gibbons is the vocalist, songwriter, producer and co-founder (together with Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley) of the band Portishead and a solo artist in her own right. This album marks the first music from Beth Gibbons since 2008. Henryk Górecki (1933 – 2010) was a Polish composer of contemporary classical music, believed to be the most commercially successful classical composer in recent times, with previous versions of his Third Symphony, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, having sold over a million copies. Krzysztof Penderecki has been hailed as Poland’s greatest living composer, and conductor. His music was introduced to a wider audience through its use soundtracking movies such as The Shining and The Exorcist. The film was produced by the National Audiovisual Institute, Poland and directed by Michał Merczyński.

One of the two featured collaborations of the evening sees UK artists Yussef Dayes (kit), Kevin Haynes (sax), Sarah Tandy (keys) and Paul Dolby aka Seiji (electronics) team up with Cuban artists Adel Gomez (congas) and Feliciano Arango (bass). Rehearsals for this element of the show will start in Havana in the week leading up to their Barbican date. The second collaboration will feature Manchester duo Space Afrika (electronics) and Ariwo’s Hammadi Valdes (percussion) from Cuba, with the artists coming together in London in the run-up of the concert. The first Manana//Cuba collaborative evening was hosted by the Barbican in May 2017, and this followed on from the ground-breaking MANANA Festival in Santiago de Cuba in 2016. Manana//Cuba is a pioneering project that connects the electronic music community to masters of Afro-Cuban folkloric tradition. The project is built around the belief that Cuba’s powerful blend of rhythm and culture will enrich the electronic music community, while giving local musicians a platform to connect with international audiences, incorporate technology and take their musical development in new directions. Manana also hosts regular nights in London and throughout the UK, all of which focus on connecting world- class musicians with progressive electronic producers. At its core, Jazz re:freshed’s mission is to globally elevate, amplify and spotlight the breadth of expression in UK Jazz, while breaking down the boundaries to access the music as a listener. Synonymous with supporting the launch of Ashley Henry and Nubya Garcia’s recording careers, tastemakers, Jazz re:freshed have achieved this by supporting, developing and promoting emerging artists and bands across multiple platforms including a weekly live residency, annual one day festival, record label, band development programs, international showcasing and multiple partnerships. The Cuban Joint is a production company working with strategic partners and vendors across Cuba, helping to connect international music and media industries with Cuba’s creative industry and artists. Manana//Cuba x Jazz re:freshed is supported by Arts Council England and British Council.

A pivotal and influential figure in the contemporary Palestinian music scene, Rim Banna’s life was tragically cut short in March 2018 after a ten-year struggle with breast cancer. The artist left an eclectic repertoire of twelve albums, including her last project and recording Voice of Resistance – a conceptual album where she transformed her medical files and scans into a sonic and musical backdrop to recite her poetry over.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

  • Dark Night of the Soul
    Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul Uncut has reviewed plenty of obscure albums in its time but this may be a first: an album that doesn’t officially exist. As a result of some undisclosed contractual snafu, EMI put the mockers on Dark Night Of The Soul just as it was being readied for release. Undeterred, Danger Mouse pressed ahead anyway, offering Dark Night… as a limited edition photo book featuring David Lynch ’s “visual narrative” for the project, accompanied by a blank, recordable CD and the not-so-cryptic instruction to “use it as you will”. Though careful not to say as much, Danger Mouse was essentially encouraging us to bootleg his own LP, which by this point had mysteriously surfaced on file-sharing networks. Danger Mouse has form in this area, of course. The Grey Album , his inventive mash-up of Jay-Z and The Beatles , also aroused the wrath of EMI, who held the rights to The White Album . It made his reputation, if not his fortune, so he knows the value of peer-to-peer propaganda. On the other hand, Danger Mouse’s clever feint here may just have succeeded in adding a layer of intrigue to a project which, despite its impressive cast list, is not as fascinating as its creators probably hoped. Take Gorillaz ’s Demon Days, substitute Sparklehorse ’s Mark Linkous for Damon Albarn , and David Lynch ’s murky snapshots of sinister smalltown America for Jamie Hewlett ’s anarchic cartoons, and you’ve got the basic idea of Dark Night… There are some big-name cameos – Iggy Pop , Frank Black , a surprisingly compelling Suzanne Vega – but it’s questionable whether a collaborative free-for-all was the best way to approach a concept album about loss of faith; dark nights of the soul, by their very nature, usually demand to be suffered in isolation.

The festival was piloted in 2009 and then held on 30th June and 1st July 2012.

Performers included Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) the Scrapheap Orchestra, the British Paraorchestra, Prof Green and Labrinth, with a fully staged performance of Carmen by a cast of professionals and local choirs.

Audience views There was a good balance between people attending as part of a family group, with friends, in a couple, and some on their own. Audience members were attracted by the mix of music, the link to Charles Hazlewood, the insight into performance from live rehearsals, the reasonable cost, the informality and the novelty.
