JULY 2017 Director’S Introduction APRIL–JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction ©Frances Marshall Photography Vienna occupied the heart of a vast empire during the years in which the works in Bernarda Fink and Ensemble Prisma Wien’s programme were conceived. The Habsburg Empire, for all its faults, provided ideal conditions for a remarkable flourishing of music and musicians. Prisma Wien, founded in 2006 as a flexible ensemble, makes its Wigmore Hall debut under the direction of violinist Thomas Fheodoroff. Their programme is cut from rich material, complete with Haydn’s dramatic scena Arianna a Naxos and Dvorˇák’s Biblical Songs. Wigmore Hall continues to play host to Schubert’s songs, presenting all 600-plus of the composer’s timeless contributions to the art form. Over sixty of the world’s finest interpreters have taken part in Schubert: The Complete Songs, a major landmark in the Hall’s history, which is set to conclude 31 January 2018, Schubert’s birthday. Leading composers and conductors are among those in the queue hoping to collaborate with Patricia Kopatchinskaja. The iconoclastic Moldovan-Austrian violinist’s artistry erupts from the uncompromising courage of her breath-taking interpretations. Her season as Wigmore Hall’s Artist in Residence concludes with two compelling concert programmes, both rich in repertoire range, and an enlightening pre-concert talk. Four composers central to Sir András Schiff’s artistic DNA provide the focus for the pianist’s unfolding Wigmore Hall concerts this season. His careful selection of works offers the chance to hear each piece from a fresh perspective, while his related masterclass series provides further insights into Schiff’s creative process. The exceptional encounter at Wigmore Hall between two stars of bel canto, Cecilia Bartoli and Philippe Jaroussky, is enhanced by their enduring friendship and strong musical bond. Following an acclaimed Benjamin Ealovega © Giulio Cesare in Salzburg and mutual guest appearances on several of sets the creative benchmark for a programme that includes one of their recording projects, they finally share a concert in company with Purcell’s earliest Odes for St Cecilia’s Day, complete with the haunting the virtuoso Ensemble Artaserse, founded by Jaroussky in 2003. countertenor aria, ‘Here the deities approve’, and the wonderful verse anthem ‘In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust’. The Sixteen also explores the Once self-described in three words as ‘mercurial, stoical and giggly’, intense chromatic harmonies of ‘Plung’d in the confines of despair’, an Tansy Davies’s music jolts and pulses, with a rhythmical, almost mechanical, inspired setting of a psalm paraphrase by the clergyman and religious edge. She draws on inspiration from architecture, often using the controversialist, John Patrick. orchestra to build her structures, and it is this way of thinking that creates new worlds, bridging contemporary idioms such as jazz and rock.

  • SILK ROAD: the Silk Road
    SILK ROAD: The Silk Road (or Silk Routes) is an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe. FIDDLE/VIOLIN: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers (see below). Their two-stringed upright fiddles called morin khuur were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The morin khuur produces a sound that is poetically described as “expansive and unrestrained”, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the Erhu, the Chinese violin or 2-stringed fiddle, was introduced to China over a thousand years ago and probably came to China from Asia to the west along the silk road. The sound box of the Ehru is covered with python skin. The erhu is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth. The inside string (nearest to player) is generally tuned to D4 and the outside string to A4. This is the same as the two middle strings of the violin. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The violin family developed during the Renaissance period in Europe (16th century) when all arts flourished.

  • Beethoven and Banjos - an Annual Musical Celebration for the UP
    Beethoven and Banjos - An Annual Musical Celebration for the UP Beethoven and Banjos 2018 festival is bringing Nordic folk music and some very unique instruments to the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock, Michigan. Along with the musicians from Decoda (Carnegie Hall’s resident chamber group) we are presenting Norwegian Hardanger fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim and Swedish Nyckelharpist Anna Gustavsson. Guro Kvifte Nesheim grew up in Oslo, Norway, and started playing the Hardanger fiddle when she was seven years old. She has learned to play the traditional music of Norway from many great Hardanger fiddle players and has received prizes for her playing in national competitions for folk music. In 2013 she began her folk music education in Sweden at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. Guro is composing a lot of music, and has a great interest and love for the old music traditions of Norway and Sweden. In 2011 she went to the world music camp Ethno and was bit by the “Ethno-bug”. Since then she has attended many Ethno Camps as a participant and leader, and setup Ethno Norway with a team of fellow musicians. In spring 2015 she worked at the Opera House of Gothenburg with the dance piece “Shadowland”. The Hardanger fiddle is a traditional instrument from Norway. It is called the Hardanger Fiddle because the oldest known Hardanger Fiddle, made in 1651, was found in the area Hardanger. The instrument has beautiful decorations, traditional rose painting, mother-of-pearl inlays and often a lion’s head. The main characteristic of the Hardanger Fiddle is the sympathetic strings that makes the sound very special – it’s like an old version of a speaker that amplifies the sound.

  • The English Concert – Biography
    The English Concert – Biography The English Concert is one of Europe’s leading chamber orchestras specialising in historically informed performance. Created by Trevor Pinnock in 1973, the orchestra appointed Harry Bicket as its Artistic Director in 2007. Bicket is renowned for his work with singers and vocal collaborators, including in recent seasons Lucy Crowe, Elizabeth Watts, Sarah Connolly, Joyce DiDonato, Alice Coote and Iestyn Davies. The English Concert has a wide touring brief and the 2014-15 season will see them appear both across the UK and abroad. Recent highlights include European and US tours with Alice Coote, Joyce DiDonato, David Daniels and Andreas Scholl as well as the orchestra’s first tour to mainland China. Harry Bicket directed The English Concert and Choir in Bach’s Mass in B Minor at the 2012 Leipzig Bachfest and later that year at the BBC proms, a performance that was televised for BBC4. Following the success of Handel’s Radamisto in New York 2013, Carnegie Hall has commissioned one Handel opera each season from The English Concert. Theodora followed in early 2014, which toured West Coast of the USA as well as the Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris and the Barbican London followed by a critically acclaimed tour of Alcina in October 2014. Future seasons will see performances of Handel’s Hercules and Orlando. The English Concert’s discography includes more than 100 recordings with Trevor Pinnock for Deutsche Grammophon Archiv, and a series of critically acclaimed CDs for Harmonia Mundi with violinist Andrew Manze. Recordings with Harry Bicket have been widely praised, including Lucy Crowe’s debut solo recital, Il caro Sassone.

  • Patricia Kopatchinskaja Violin
    Patricia Kopatchinskaja Violin “Kopatchinskaja was like a cat teasing a butterfly, always ready to pounce on a passing phrase, whether answering the first violins or duetting with a perky clarinet. It has become her calling card to make the familiar unfamiliar.” Rebecca Franks, The Times, May 2019 A combination of depth, brilliance and humour, Kopatchinskaja brings an inimitable sense of theatrics to her music. Whether performing a violin concerto by Tchaikovsky, Ligeti or Schoenberg or presenting an original staged project deconstructing Beethoven, Ustwolskaja or Cage, her distinctive approach always conveys the core of the work. Highlights of the 19/20 season included a tour of the US with cellist Jay Campbell featuring a premiere of a new duo by Márton Illés, and in spring 2020 Kopatchinskaja performed the world premiere of a new commission by Francisco Coll with Philharmonie Luxembourg and Gustavo Gimeno. Kopatchinskaja appears regularly with artists such as: Polina Leschenko with whom she toured recently to Japan and the U.S; and Reto Bieri, with whom she premiered a new trio programme at the Wigmore Hall (with Leschenko). Highlights of the 2020/21 season include residencies with Frankfurt Alter Oper, SWR Symphony Orchestra, Bamberg Symphony, and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. She will also be one of three new Associate Artists at the Southbank Centre beginning in January 2021 and running until the end of the 21/22 season. Included in the 20/21 season with Bamberg is the world premiere of a new concerto commission by Luca Francesconi. Kopatchinskaja will continue to showcase the works of living composers such as Michael Hersch, György Kurtág and Márton Illés in her varied and innovative curated projects like Farewell Beethoven, with pianist Igor Levit and soprano Ah Young, which will feature in the Lucerne Festival in autumn 2020.
