I hope that you find it informative, clear and easy to use. Our season will include residencies from, amongst others, Isabelle Faust, Christian Tetzlaff, Sir András Schiff, Jörg Widmann and Sonia Prina. The season will include a 17-concert survey of Haydn’s string quartets with all of Haydn’s quartets from the Op. 20s onwards, and Cuarteto Casals will present a complete cycle of Beethoven’s string quartets, alongside new works by living composers. Vocal highlights include a performance of Winterreise by Mark Padmore and Mitsuko Uchida, and Director’s Roderick Williams’s first performances of Die schöne Mullerin, Winterreise and Schwanengesang, as well as recitals from Ian Bostridge, Sarah Connolly, Joyce Introduction DiDonato, Christian Gerhaher, Philippe Jaroussky and Simon Keenlyside. The Nash Ensemble will dedicate its 2017/18 Season to an exploration of French chamber music, performing repertoire by Debussy, Ravel, Faure and Poulenc. Other chamber concerts include appearances by Renaud Capuçon, Julia Fischer Quartet, Quatuor Ebène, the Takács Quartet, Alisa Weilerstein, Leila Josefowicz, and a performance by Leonidas Kavakos and Yuja Wang. The London Pianoforte Series includes performances from Francesco Piemontesi, who will continue his Mozart piano sonata cycle; Nelson Freire, who will mark the 50th anniversary of his Wigmore Hall debut with a recital on the exact day on 17 February 2018; and Daniil Trifonov with Rachmaninov and Chopin, as well as recitals from Jonathan Biss, Imogen Cooper, Bertrand Chamayou, Ingrid Fliter, Kirill Gerstein, Ivana Gavrić, Richard Goode, Igor Levit and Steven Osborne. The 2017/18 Season will also include a focus on Bach, featuring Angela Hewitt, James Ehnes, Philip Higham, Mahan Esfahani, the Dunedin Consort (which will present Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, St Matthew Passion and Mass in B minor across the course of the season) and Les Arts Florissants. The season will contain around 20 premières, with contemporary repertoire presented by artists including Arditti Quartet, Mary Bevan, Ensemble intercontemporain, JACK Quartet, Igor Levit, Nash Ensemble and Takács Quartet. For the first time, Wigmore Hall’s Learning programme has been planned around a theme: Seven Ages, Journeys through Life will reflect on life and experience in its many and various forms. This hall must be a place of diversity, discovery, open to new names and young artists, fresh interpretations and a constant exploration of all that the repertoire offers. It is also tremendously important that, through our Learning programme and innovative use of digital technology, we can share so much of what we have with the widest possible audience. • 3 Contents At a Glance 4 Calendar 6 September 8 October 31 November 51 December 73 Contemporary Music Series 92 Spring Preview 94 Summer Preview 98 Booking Information 104 September – December 2017 At a Glance See pages 8 – 90 for full details of these concerts and page 104 for booking information.
