Henryk Górecki – Symphony No 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 Hazely 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.

The event title, The Trace of the Butterfly, is the name of one of Banna’s songs as well as a poem by Mahmoud Darwish. 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.

  • A Level Music
    A level Music Areas of Study – Other Perspectives NB: updates to this document were made in April 2021 and these are highlighted in yellow. © artwork: Mark Bolitho | Origami photography Pearson Education Ltd/Justin Hoffman Introduction This qualification features a Component entitled Appraising. The purpose of this component is for students to develop their listening and appraising skills through the study of music across a variety of styles and genres. The content is grouped into six areas of study, containing either two or three set works. This component gives students the opportunity to reflect on, analyse and evaluate music in aural and/or written form. To achieve this objective, students need to use their knowledge and understanding of musical elements, context and language to make critical judgements about the repertoire and context of music within the areas of study. Students should also study a range of pieces beyond these set works. The suggested other musical pieces for each area of study (see Appendix 4 of the specification) provide students with breadth, enabling them to place their knowledge of musical elements, context and language in a wider context, and apply their knowledge and understanding to more pieces of music. The suggested other music can help students to relate their learning to music in the set works, but their study is not compulsory. Teachers can identify and teach other pieces of music to support their students’ learning. The following music and musicians are examples of how each of the areas of study can be approached from a diverse range of other perspectives. The pieces have been chosen to encourage students to think beyond the mainstream and over-represented composers and styles of music, and instead to consider alternative and less well-known types and origins of music.

Gemeinsam können wir auf ein gutes Jahr für die Kunst zurückblicken: nationale und internationale Preise für den österreichischen Film, die Umsetzung der Kinodigitalisie- rung für die Programmkinos, ein vielbeachteter Beitrag Österreichs bei der Kunstbiennale in Venedig, weitere Stärkung des zeitgenössischen Kunstschaffens und die nachhaltige © Hans Ringhofer Umsetzung der Nachwuchsförderung und Kulturvermittlung.

The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman.

Avec « Woodlands and beyond… », elle repense le récital, ce concept créé par Franz Liszt dans les années 1840 et qu’il est peut-être temps d’envisager sous un jour nouveau. La musicienne a souhaité avec « Woodlands and beyond… » mêler les arts, faire se percuter les sens, en une symbiose apte à favoriser la rêverie et ces fameuses correspondances chères à Baudelaire. La juxtaposition de la musique, qui reprend celle de l’album Water, et des photographies de la nature de l’artiste allemand Mat Hennek, rend possible l’éclosion d’un nouveau champ imaginaire. Des strates de conscience, des rapproche- ments inattendus se dévoilent pour les auditeurs/spectateurs. Et pour l’artiste elle-même. Rappelons que pendant certaines périodes de sa vie, Hélène Grimaud n’a pas travaillé sur l’instrument mais mentalement, par associations d’images, de couleurs.
