Odyssey OPera
Shura Baryshnikov (Joan of Arc)
Boston Children's Chorus
Harvard Radcliffe Collegium Musicum

One of the nation’s most innovative opera companies, Odyssey Opera, continues Trial by Fire: Joan of Arc and the Hundred Years’ War, a season-long exploration of operatic works inspired by martyr, saint, and military leader Joan of Arc (1412-1431). For one night only, Odyssey Opera presents a semi-staged English-language performance of Arthur Honegger’s dramatic oratorio Jeanne d’Arc au bûcher (Joan of Arc at the Stake), a genre-defying masterpiece described as having the perfect cohesion between words and music. A hybrid of Honegger’s eclectic score and sung/spoken libretto by French poet/playwright Paul Claudel, Joan is brought to life in this vivid and emotional drama. Performing the lead role of Joan of Arc is acclaimed actor/dancer Shura Baryshnikov. Conductor Gil Rose leads a full orchestra and chorus featuring the Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum and the Premier Choir of the Boston Children’s Chorus.

String Quartet ETHEL and Native American Flutist Robert Mirabal in Concert
Gorell Recital Hall
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
United States
724-357-1313
www.iup.edu

Tickets: $22
ETHEL (string quartet)
Robert Mirabal (flute)

ETHEL will present new performances of its acclaimed show The River, an integral journey in instrumental virtuosity, song and storytelling. The tour comes in the wake of its 2016 NAMA-nominated release of the same title (Innova Recordings), and furthers ETHEL’s wildly successful nine-year collaboration with Native American musician, actor, writer, instrument builder and three-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Robert Mirabal. Here, ETHEL and Mirabal take inspiration from Water as the embodiment of the Spirit, and evoke the magic and majesty of “the river” which connects us all, with the live performance immersing the audience in a flow of music, narrative and ritual. The music of The River evokes timeless Native American traditions, re-imagined through the contemporary ear. The project has been featured by PRI’s The World, NPR’s Native America Calling, and, after making its premiere at the University of Washington, the Seattle Times wrote that the live show, “resides somewhere beyond the intersection of ceremony and show biz, at a place where multicultural collaboration becomes sacred art.” As delivered by these master performers, the effect is breathtaking, even ecstatic.”

English Symphony Orchestra perform Mendelssohn, Schumann and a World Premiere Violin Concerto by Philip Sawyers
Shirehall
St Peter's Square, Hereford HR1 2HX
United Kingdom
01684 892277
www.malvern-tickets.co.uk

Tickets: £10 - £22
English Symphony Orchestra
Alexander Sitkovetsky, violin
Kenneth Woods, conductor

Sitkovetsky will be giving the world premiere of Philip Sawyers’ new Violin Concerto, a work he and the ESO are recording for Nimbus earlier in the week. Sawyers has held the “John McCabe Composer-in-Association” chair at the ESO since 2015, and during his time with the orchestra has produced the Violin Concerto, a Trumpet Concerto, a song cycle “Songs of Loss and Regret” premiered during the ESO’s 2015 Elgar Pilgrimage series in Hereford Cathedral, as well as several shorter works including a brass Fanfare and an overture for student musicians. The major work of his tenure was his Third Symphony, hailed at its 2017 premiere in London by the ESO as “a masterpiece” (Classical Source) and released on CD to universal acclaim, including winning the 2017 Gramophone Magazine Critic’s Choice “Best of 2017” award.

“It’s vitally important that we renew the symphonic repertoire or our art form will die,” says Woods, “but we have absolutely no interest in programming pieces which will alienate our audience. Our motto when programming a concert is “something you know you will love and something we know you will love.” Philip’s music has the same qualities that make Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler’s music so powerful and popular- it’s dramatic, it’s beautiful, it’s exciting and it’s rewarding. Philip is a superb violinist himself, so the Violin Concerto is a particularly lovely and affectionate work.” The last major premiere of Sawyers’ tenure as Composer-in-Association will be his new tone poem, The Valley of Vision, inspired by the paintings of Samuel Palmer, which the ESO premiere in Malvern Priory on Wednesday 14th March.
