Music in Norwich music in norwich ‘What’s on?’ a round-up of classical, jazz & April 2012 - September 2012 world music events in Norwich About Music in Norwich This programme is the result of a collaboration between a number of organisations who promote classical, jazz and world music. The aim is to gather music listings in one place so that they are easy to find and also to offer an overview of performances throughout the year. The Music in Norwich group is a self-supporting partnership of music organisations active in Norwich and the surrounding area. We hope you will keep this booklet safe as it covers six months’ programming. Because of space limitations and lots going on, concert details are brief but you can find out more from individual organisations. See page 39 for contact details and also where to buy tickets.

Colour photographs of Ingrid by Anton Dressler. 2 Chopin: Piano Concertos ‘Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!’ Robert Schumann’s celebrated appraisal of the seventeen-year-old Frédéric Chopin in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung of 7 December 1831 thrust the young Polish wunderkind into the European limelight in no uncertain terms. For Schumann, as for many others, the success of the Variations on Là ci darem la mano from Mozart’s Don Giovanni raised considerable expectations for what was to follow, expectations that would, with almost unseemly abruptness, be left unrealised. 3 Composed for piano and orchestra, the Variations had been only the second piece by the teenage prodigy to be published in 1827 (the fi rst, the precocious Rondo in C minor, composed two years earlier when he was just fi fteen, a markedly less ambitious piece for solo piano). It was also Chopin’s fi rst work for a pairing that was to become both touchstone and trial for composers eager to make their mark in the middle of the nineteenth century but one that was soon to lose its allure for Chopin himself.

    THE ALKAN SOCIETY President: RONALD SMITH Secretary: PETER J. GROVE 21 Heronswood, SALISBURY, Wiltshire SP28DH Tel/fax +44-[0]-1722-325771 BULLETIN NO.56: NOVEMBER 1999 I begin too often with an apology for the long delay of our Bulletin. There was a shortage of news at the beginning of the year, and since the summer there has been a shortage of time and efficiency. As my French counterpart has reminded me in no uncertain terms, our Bulletins are our only contact with most of our members. Please be assured that the Society is still running; our bank account is well in the black; and we can look forward to some exciting events in the year 2000. I must thank all the members who kept the faith by sending subscriptions or donations during this fallow year. Your contributions have all been recorded, and if you wish I will carry them over for 2000. If, in the usual rush to fill envelopes once the bulletin is printed and ready for dispatch, I enclose a form for subscriptions or donations which you feel is unnecessary, then please be assured that I will keep your name on the mailing list. As you will read later, we can certainly use some new funds, so any donations or subscriptions for 2000 will be welcomed and acknowledged. I intend to issue a receipt or membership card for the coming year, with each paid-up member allocated a reference number. This will enable you to obtain discounts on some products such as the new CDs of the chamber music and the CD from Symposium Records containing Nicholas King's organ recital.

Post-production by Julia Thomas Design by gmtoucari.com Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concertos 3, 4 & 5 When Beethoven wrote a set of three works such as violin sonatas or string quartets, he normally gave them strongly contrasting characters. Although his last three piano concertos were not created as a set (they spanned about a decade in their composition), they nevertheless exhibit a similar level of contrast. No. 3 is stormy and agitated; No. 4 is gentle and lyrical; and No. 5 is grand and majestic – so much so that in English-speaking countries it has gained the nickname ‘Emperor’.

To provide an even wider reach for its innovative programs, the Conservatory has launched the Building National Dreams Campaign to restore its historic Victorian home and build a state-of-the-art performance and learning centre. Opening in 2007, the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning will be one of the world’s greatest arts and education venues and a wonderful resource for all Canadians. Designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB), this stunning facility will feature new academic and performance space, including an acoustically perfect 1,000-seat concert hall, new studios and classrooms, a new-media centre, library and rehearsal hall. Technologically sophisticated, it will be the heart of creative education in Canada. To get involved in the Building National Dreams Campaign, please call 416.408.2824, ext. 238 or visit www.rcmusic.ca Although the ARC ensemble was founded just three years ago, it has already established itself as a formidable musical presence. The group’s appearances in Toronto, New York, Stockholm and London; several national and NPR broadcasts and the auspicious Music Reborn project, presented in December 2003, have all been greeted with enormous enthusiasm. With Reel Music, ARC explores the chamber works of composers generally associated with film music, and the artistic effects of the two disciplines on each other.
