  • Composer Keith Burstein Pays Homage to Beethoven with a New Work to Mark the 250Th Anniversary of His Birth
    COMPOSER KEITH BURSTEIN PAYS HOMAGE TO BEETHOVEN WITH A NEW WORK TO MARK THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH Keith Burstein rehearsing his Symphony No 1 Elixir with the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra in Kaunas Lithuania in 2012. Performance Date: 25 March 2020 Venue: Cadogan Hall, London A new work written by composer Keith Burstein to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven will be performed by the London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) at the Cadogan Hall in Chelsea, London, on 25 March 2020. Memories of Bonn, Symphonic Poem No 1 will be conducted by LCO’s Music Director and Principal Conductor, Christopher Warren-Green, and was inspired by the composer’s visit to Bonn, Beethoven’s birthplace. Vladimir Ashkenazy, the great pianist and conductor – and mentor to Burstein – suggested he wrote the Symphonic Poem. Albany Arts | A22 Laystall Street | London | EC1R 4PA | t: + 44 (0) 20 78 79 88 95 | www.albanyartscommunications.com The piece seeks to reflect the complex confluence of history and culture that Burstein experienced in Bonn when he attended a premiere of his music there in 2016. Inevitably the music evokes Beethoven, who is considered by the composer to be ‘the exemplar of a radical composer who wrote memorable melodies.’ Burstein is renowned for his fervent championing of tonal music, as opposed to the atonal style which has dominated classical music teaching and composition for over a century, and Memories of Bonn looks set to ignite the ongoing controversy surrounding the pre-eminence of atonal music over tonal. ‘I am delighted Christopher Warren-Green and the London Chamber Orchestra are premiering this new work, which was strongly advocated by Mark Redman, Chairman of the LCO Trust.

  • Review of the Year 2016/17 02 : Association of British Orchestras : Review of the Year 2016/17
    REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2016/17 02 : ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH ORCHESTRAS : REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2016/17 PREFACE For the ABO, 2016/17 involved continued championing of the orchestral sector and supporting the membership during a period of political change, in particular following the referendum on EU membership in June. The potential impact of leaving the EU raises a number of issues for members which the ABO is discussing with key figures in government, and at the same time, seeking to position the orchestral sector at the heart of new ‘soft power’ initiatives at home and abroad. The collation and presentation of statistics from the sector, through the publication of ‘The State of Britain’s Orchestras in 2016’ provides the ABO with the tools for advocacy on behalf of its membership in these challenging times. The annual conference, held in Bournemouth in January, focused on the theme of Diversity and proved to be one of the most valuable ABO conferences to date. Examples of best practice in the UK and internationally, coupled with lively debate, enabled members to think through ways to embed diversity and inclusion at the centre of their strategic planning for the future. The ABO board is looking at next steps in this field for the year ahead. Members continue to value the networking and connections that the Association facilitates across the music industry, and also the external links these forge. From the impressive number of delegates at the conference, to healthy attendance at the Specialist Managers Meetings, it is clearly beneficial to members to network and to learn from one other and also from experts in other disciplines.

  • Matt Rogers Orac Mark Van De Wiel Clarinet Sinfonietta Shorts Are Bite-Sized Pieces of New Music from Today's Leading Composers
    Matt Rogers Orac Mark van de Wiel clarinet Sinfonietta Shorts are bite-sized pieces of new music from today's leading composers, commissioned and premiered by principal players of the London Sinfonietta. The series started in 2008 to celebrate the ensemble's 40th birthday, and the works created for it have enduring relevance as introductions to the best new music of our time. Matt Rogers Orac for clarinet Matt Rogers says ... Orac is a piece of instrumental rhetoric inspired partly by the idea of early computer-generated music. It attempts to create the sense of a discreet algorithm at work, a computer program designed to give the impression that the music was written by a human composer – which of course it was, but in this case a human composer who wishes to give the impression that there is a discreet algorithm at work, which there is not. As such, the music can also be considered coded data, broadcast via soundwaves and ripe with information, ready for interpretation by any system capable of reading it. Orac takes its name from one of my favourite fictional computers, a character in the 1970s BBC Television science fiction series Blake’s 7. Matt Rogers Matt Rogers is a British composer who has written for and with a host of leading instrumentalists, ensembles and technologists, creating music and installations for concert halls, theatres and galleries. He studied for his Masters Degree with Gordon McPherson at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) graduating in 2001, and continued his education with Oliver Knussen and Magnus Lindberg at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Study.
