Higgins’ dance suite Tänze will be performed by 70 of London Music Masters Learning students aged 9-11 and the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. This free event precedes pianist and LMM Ambassador Benjamin Grosvenor’s concert with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, marking his first time performing with them in London. Higgins’ large scale, innovative new work will explore the history of dance music from the Baroque period to the present day. Higgins explains: “Tänze is a new work inspired by the Baroque dance suite. As such the piece is made up of the four dances most commonly utilised; Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and a lively Gigue. Dance music has always been very important to me and I’ve been wanting to write a ‘dance suite’ for some time now. When I was approached by LMM to write this piece I felt this was the opportunity to do just that.

A Festival of Artistic Research (Graz, 5–7 October 2017) Artistic research is currently a much-talked about and highly innovative field of know- ledge creation which combines artistic with academic practice. One of its central features is ambitious artistic experiments exploring musical and other questions, systematically bringing them into dialogue with reflection, analysis and other academic approaches. ARTikulationen, a two-and-a-half day festival of artistic research that has been running under that name since 2016, organised by the Artistic Doctoral School (KWDS) of the Uni- versity of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), expands the pioneering format deve- loped by Ulf Bästlein and Wolfgang Hattinger in 2010, in which the particular moment of artistic research – namely audible results, which come about through a dynamic between art and scholarship that is rooted in methodology – becomes something the audience can understand and experience. In Alfred Brendel, Georg Friedrich Haas and George Lewis, the festival brings three world- famous and influential personalities and thinkers from the world of music to Graz as key- note speakers. George Lewis will combine his lecture with a version of his piece for soloist and interactive grand piano. The presentations at ARTikulationen encompass many different formats such as keynotes, lecture recitals, guest talks, poster presentations and a round table on practices in artistic research.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Orthoptera : Gryllidae) of the World
    ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF OECANTHINAE (ORTHOPTERA : GRYLLIDAE) OF THE WORLD THOMASJ. WALKER Department of Entomology, University of Florida, Gainesville The most recent listing of the Oecanthinae of the world is in Volume 2 of Kirby's Syno.nymic Catalogtie of Orthopte~a(1906, p. 72-76). Since then the number of described species has doubled and studies of the spe- cies in Africa (Chopard 1932), the United States (T. Walker 1962a, 1963), and Latin America (T. Walker 1967) have revealed new synonymies. The list below sumniarizes present knowledge of oecanthine taxonomy, nornen- clature, and geographic distribution. Keys to the species of Oecanthinae in specific areas are in the studies listed above and in Tarbinsky (1932, USSR), Chopard (1936, Ceylon), and Chopard (1951, Australia). Little has been published on the biology of Oecanthinae with the exception of Oecaizthlts pellzlcens of Europe (Chopard 1938, M.-C. Busnel 1954, M.-C. and R.-G. Busnel 1954) and various U. S. species (Fulton 1915, 1925, 1926a, 1926b; T. Walker 1957, 1962a, 196213, 1963). The following conventions are used in the checkl~st: After the word Type, a single asterisk ( ) means that the condition and place of deposit of the type specimen were confirmed by correspondence. A double asterisk (' ') means that I have examined the type specimen. Data concerning the present status of the type specimen are separated by a semi-colon from data on the place and date of collection and the collector. Abbreviations are used for the following museums: Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ANSP) ; British Nuseum (Nat.

  • Performing History
    PERFORMING HISTORY BACH PIANISM IN BRITAIN, 1920–35 Pierre Patrick Rancy Riley Fitzwilliam College This thesis is submitted to the University of Cambridge for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2020 Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or is being concurrently submitted, for a degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or is being concurrently submitted, for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. This thesis does not exceed the prescribed word limit set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of Music. Abstract Performing History: Bach Pianism in Britain, – Pierre Riley The canonical repertoire of Western art music – and, by association, the pantheon of its progenitors – exists both as history and in the living, sounding present. It undergoes reinvention and renegotiation through performance and related activities, prompting reflection on how to account for its multi-faceted ontology. This study applies an array of methodologies to the task of describing and contextualising performance acts with the aim of gaining a more nuanced understanding of one repertoire in one historical time and place.

    Tasmania Discovery Orchestra 2011 The Discovery Series, Season II Concert 1: Discover the Orchestra Alex Briger – Conductor Mozart Overture Die Zauberflöte , K. 620 Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 Coffee and Cake in the foyer with musicians and conductor Sunday 17 h April 2011 | 2:30pm Stanley Burbury Theatre Sandy Bay, Hobart The Tasmania Discovery Orchestra The TDO is a refreshingly new, bold idea in Australian orchestral music making, designed to offer musicians with advanced orchestral instrument skills the opportunity to come together and make great music in Hobart, Tasmania. The TDO was created in 2010, and was an immediate success, drawing musicians from around Australia to Hobart for the inaugural performance. The response for more performance opportunities for orchestral players is evident by the large number of TDO applicants for both the 2010 and 2011 seasons. This demand led to the creation of another new initiative by the Conservatorium of Music, the TDO Sinfonietta , which will be continuing in 2011. This ensemble performs the chamber music repertoire of the 20th- Century and works composed for mixed orchestral ensemble. With a repertoire of known favourites, this ensemble of more intimate proportions than the TDO, is designed for orchestral musicians with advanced chamber instrumental skills. The TDO and TDO Sinfonietta are about investing in the future of Australian music. Our mission is simple: Australian orchestral musicians, not employed in full-time positions with orchestras, need more opportunities to perform. We want our community and audience to get involved! Have you ever wondered how an orchestra works? Or, perhaps, you’ve always wanted to know what the Conductor does.
