Kennedy Library and Museum. Events include an October 23 discussion by BSO Director of Program Publications Marc Mandel (as part of BSO 101) on Britten’s approach in the War Requiem to setting the Latin Requiem text and poetry of Wilfred Owen; a November 3 concert at the Kennedy Library and Museum by the Hawthorne String Quartet and BSO clarinetist Thomas Martin, celebrating the Britten centennial and music of the Kennedy era, to be repeated at Northeastern University’s Fenway Center on November 8; a November 4 lecture by Harlow Robinson on the Cold War context in which Britten wrote the War Requiem and the artistic rebuilding of Europe after World War II; a Novem- ber 6 discussion with BSO Artistic Administrator Anthony Fogg, tenor John Mark Ainsley, Tanglewood Festival Chorus conductor John Oliver, and Britten scholar Michael Foster (author of a new book on the War Requiem) about approaches to performing Britten’s great work, including filmed excerpts from past performances led by Britten himself, Erich Leinsdorf (the 1963 American premiere with the BSO at Tanglewood), and Andris Nelsons; pre-concert talks by Michael Foster before the BSO’s three War Requiem performances; and concerts including music of Britten on October 28, November 4, and November 8 at the New England Conservatory.

The concerts are prepared and presented by student artists at NEC, with each composer offer- ing commentary on the chosen works in conversation with BSO Assistant Artistic Adminis- trator Benjamin Schwartz. These free, hour-long concerts, all at 6 p.m., take place in Williams Hall at the New England Conservatory prior to the initial BSO performances of the composers’ new symphonic works. The first of these concerts, featuring works by Mark-Anthony Turnage (whose BSO commission Speranza receives its American premiere next week) and Oliver Knussen, is scheduled for next Thursday, October 24. Further information on this week 5 bso news 7 concert is available at necmusic.edu/bso-prelude-turnage. The upcoming Preludes curated by Marc Neikrug and Bernard Rands are scheduled for November 21 and April 3, respectively. BSO 101—The Free Adult Education Series at Symphony Hall Again this season, BSO 101 offers informative sessions on seven Wednesdays throughout the season about upcoming BSO programming, and on four Tuesdays about behind-the- scenes activities at Symphony Hall. All sessions are from 5:30-6:45 p.m. at Symphony Hall, each being followed by a reception offering beverages and hors d’oeuvres. Admission to the BSO 101 sessions is free; please note, however, that as of this season, there is a nominal charge to attend the receptions.

  • Musikfest Berlin 2021 Programm
    #MusikfestBerlin 28.8.– 20.9. 2021 2., aktualisierte Auflage In Zusammenarbeit mit 28.8.– 20.9. 2021 MUSIKFEST BERLIN 2021 Von der Freude an der musikalischen Kreation Das Spätwerk Igor Strawinskys beim Musikfest Berlin 2021 mit Musik von Carlo Gesualdo bis zu Heiner Goebbels und Olga Neuwirth Vom 28. August bis 20. September 2021 startet das Berliner Konzertleben mit dem Musikfest Berlin in die neue Spiel zeit, veranstaltet von den Berliner Festspielen, in Kooperation mit der Stiftung Berliner Philharmoniker. In 34 Veranstaltun­ gen wird im Großen Saal der Philharmonie und deren Kam­ mermusiksaal, im Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt und im Großen Sendesaal des rbb Musik aus fünf Jahrhunderten präsentiert: über 100 Werke von 52 Komponist*innen, aufge­ führt von 29 Instrumental­ und Vokalensembles und 35 Solist*innen des internationalen und Berliner Musiklebens. Man hat ihn den Picasso unter den Komponist*in- nen genannt. Als Igor Strawinsky vor 50 Jahren 88-jährig verstarb, war ein Lebenswerk entstanden, das dem des Malers zu gleichen scheint: voll der überraschenden Wandlungen, Aneignungen und Umformungen, souverän der Zeit eine unver- kennbare Gestalt gebend, die Provokation und Extravaganz nicht scheuend, bewundert und gefeiert, getragen von der unverbrüchlichen Freude an der musikalischen Kreation (plaisir de la création), wie er in seiner „Musikalischen Poetik“ schrieb. „Strawinsky bleibt“ (Stravinsky demeure) prognostizierte der junge Pierre Boulez 1951. Da war Strawinsky gerade im Begriff, sich künstlerisch nochmals neu zu erfinden. Sein entdeckerischer Sinn wandte sich der historisch fernen Musik der Renaissance, des Frühbarocks und Mittelalters zu. Insbesondere fesselten ihn die Madrigale des 2 ital ­­ienischen Fürsten Don Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa. Das war die eine Blickrichtung.

    F EU E Sommer-FestivalR D 14. August – 13. September 2020 Programm Liebe Musikfreundinnen und Musikfreunde as fällt Ihnen als erstes ein zu Ludwig van Beethoven, dessen 250. Geburtstag wir 2020 feiern? «Freude, schöner Götterfunken» vielleicht? Keine schlechte Idee: Für Beethoven war die Freude, dieses göttliche WGefühl, ein Leitmotiv beim Komponieren – er selbst sah sich als Feuerbringer, als Bote des Götterfunkens, den seine Musik zünden sollte. Dabei wollte er die leidende Menschheit mit seiner Kunst erfreuen, die Zerstrittenen einen. Mit Friedrich Schillers berühmten Versen bescheinigt er der Freude: «Deine Zauber binden wieder, / was die Mode streng geteilt; / alle Menschen werden Brüder, / wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.» Was für ein aktueller Gedanke! Heute teilt «die Mode», also der Zeitgeist, die Gesellschaft mehr denn je. Weltweit öffnet sich die Kluft zwischen Links und Rechts oder Arm und Reich. Hass- botschaften und Populismus untergraben die Verständigung und Vernunft. Was kann da noch helfen? Beethovens Antwort lautet: das gemeinsame Freudenerlebnis. Und wo könnte es besser statt- Michael Haefliger finden als im Konzert, das sich von allen anderen gesellschaftlichen Intendant LUCERNE FESTIVAL oder kulturellen Angeboten durch den Aspekt der Gemeinsam- keit abhebt? Ein Buch liest man für sich allein, und auch in einem 1 Museum betrachtet jeder die Gemälde für sich selbst. Der Sport wiederum lebt sogar von der Rivalität, und den politischen Diskurs prägen ohnehin die gegensätzlichen Überzeugungen. Im Konzert- saal aber kommen Menschen zusammen, die eigentlich so vieles trennt – das Alter, die Herkunft, die soziale und politische Posi- tion –, und erleben dort miteinander etwas Beglückendes, sie Freude an der Musik. teilen die Gefühle, sie atmen mit der Musik.
