SONGWRITING The world’s greatest songs. By the people who made them. THIS WEEK: A Top 10 single 20 years ago, National Express is still The Divine Comedy’s biggest hit.

Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924. Innovation has Let us celebrate the ways we will be... been a defining feature of every decade from early radio concerts in regional towns and country halls to the pioneering work of Sean O’Boyle in recording traditional music and Sam Hanna Bell’s 1950s programmes of Belfast’s Let us count the ways to celebrate. street songs.The broadcasts of the BBC Wireless Orchestra and its successors find their contemporary echo in the world-class performances of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC NI’s radio and television schedules continue to Let us celebrate.” reverberate to the diverse sounds of local jazz, traditional and country music, religious services, brass bands, choirs, (Roger McGough - Poems of Celebration) contemporary rock, pop and dance music.

Thirty Years of the Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30Pm Tickets £25 – 40 Plus Booking Fee
JUST ANNOUNCED Rescheduled: Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy Wed 1 – Sun 5 Sep 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30pm Tickets £25 – 40 plus booking fee Today the Barbican announces rescheduled dates for Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time – Thirty Years of The Divine Comedy, a celebration of the band’s thirtieth anniversary. The five-night concert-run by The Divine Comedy was originally planned for 2 – 6 September 2020 but can no longer go ahead due to the Covid-19 restrictions. In consultation with the Barbican and Cité de la Musique the band have decided to delay their London and Paris residencies till next year. The Barbican concerts will now take place Wed 1 – Sun 5 September 2021. Performing as an eleven-piece ensemble, they will play two albums in full each night in chronological order as follows: • Liberation / Promenade (Wed 1 Sep 2021) • Casanova / A Short Album About Love (Thu 2 Sep 2021) • Fin de Siecle / Regeneration (Fri 3 Sep 2021) • Absent Friends / Victory For The Comic Muse (Sat 4 Sep 2021) • Bang Goes The Knighthood / Foreverland (Sun 5 Sep 2021) The band will repeat the five nights at the Cité de la Musique in Paris later in September 2021. In 1990 Neil Hannon signed his first deal and started releasing records under the name The Divine Comedy. Thirty years, twelve great albums and hundreds of mesmerising live shows later, Hannon is rightly adjudged one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation. To mark the anniversary, Divine Comedy Records are remastering and reissuing nine of the band's classic albums on CD, LP and digital.

The Divine Comedy
MERCREDI 11 FÉVRIER 2015 .......................................... 20H30 GRANDE SALLE THE DIVINE COMEDY Ce concert est diffusé en direct sur concert.arte.tv et live.philharmoniedeparis.fr, où il restera disponible gratuitement pendant six mois. Il sera également ultérieurement diffusé sur Arte. FIN DU CONCERT (AVEC ENTRACTE) VERS 23H. The Divine Comedy Crooner mélancolique ? Chef de mini-orchestre ? Dandy décalé ? Librettiste pop ? Compositeur de vers ? Neil Hannon échappe à toute tentative de catalogage catégorique. Une seule chose est sûre : depuis (déjà) un quart de siècle, l’Irlandais se cache derrière un nom de scène dantesque, The Divine Comedy. La preuve, s’il en fallait une, que le garçon est un chanteur lettré. Dans « Booklovers » (tiré de Promenade en 1994), il s’était même lancé dans un imposant inventaire de grands écrivains : une suite de plus de soixante-dix patronymes, de Cervantès à Bret Easton Ellis en passant par les sœurs Brontë et Proust. Mais Neil Hannon ne tombe pas pour autant dans la posture du poète torturé. « Je n’ai jamais aimé l’idée de l’écrivain maudit terrifié par la page blanche. Certains pensent qu’il faut souffrir pour être un artiste, se réveiller en plein milieu de la nuit parce qu’on a eu une idée géniale, mais ça ne marche pas comme ça. Tu dois juste t’asseoir et écrire ta putain de chanson », déclarait-il aux Inrocks en 2012. Et s’asseoir pour écrire des chansons, l’âme de The Divine Comedy l’a souvent fait et même (très) bien fait. Avec une centaine de morceaux au compteur (répartis en dix albums sortis entre 1990 et 2010), l’Irlandais a bâti un univers singulier, une œuvre entre intimisme et grandiloquence, un microcosme qui doit autant à Burt Bacharach et David Bowie qu’à Cole Porter et l’Electric Light Orchestra.

Kammerorchester Basel è una delle orchestre da camera di riferimento nel panorama della musica classica e, grazie ad una innovativa indipendenza artistica, è costantemente alla ricerca di strade interpretative di vasta portata, attraverso un continuo sviluppo del suo suono, sia con strumenti antichi che moderni. Questa diversità è diventata il suo marchio internazionale, fortemente apprezzato e considerato come un punto di riferimento dallo stesso Maestro Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli. A questo sodalizio si unisce la soprano svizzera Regula Mühlemann, regolare ospite al prestigioso Festival di Lucerna e interprete, sin dagli esordi, del repertorio mozartiano. PROGRAMMA : W.A. Mozart Sinfonia in re maggiore K 196 (ouverture da La finta giardiniera) e finale k 121 Strider sento la procella, aria da Lucio Silla K. 135 Geme la tortorella, aria da La finta giardiniera K. 196 Sinfonia in fa maggiore K. 75 Voi avete un cor fedele, aria in sol maggiore K. 217 S’altro che lagrime, aria da La clemenza di Tito K. 621 Da schlägt die Abschiedsstunde, aria da Der Schauspieldirektor (L’impresario teatrale) K. 486 Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio, aria in la maggiore K. 418 Sinfonie in sol minore K. 550 UMBERTO BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli si è formato presso il Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Milano con i Maestri Conter, Bettinelli e Gusella e ha completato la propria formazione con Franco Ferrara.
