BCMG
BCMG’s relationship with Helen Grime stretches back to the 2009 premiere of her three-movement work A Cold Spring. One of the UK’s leading young composers, Grime’s music was performed at the BBC Proms and Aldeburgh Music Festival in 2015. In January 2016, Grime was announced as Wigmore Hall Composer in Residence for its 16/17 and 17/18 seasons.
Built around the premiere of Grime’s Sound Investment Piano Concerto – written for the virtuosic Huw Watkins – are tributes to Carter, Boulez and Maxwell Davies, all significant influences on Helen’s music.
Carter’s 1982 Triple Duo is Grime’s favourite piece by this late great composer. Commissioned for Peter Maxwell Davies’ performing group The Fires of London, this scintillating work sees three pairs of instruments vie to express their own ideas and moods.
Elliott Carter : Canon for 4 – Homage to William
Pierre Boulez : Dérive 1
Peter Maxwell Davies : Unbroken Circle
Helen Grime : Piano Concerto
Helen Grime : A Cold Spring
Elliott Carter : Triple Duo

Carolyn Sampson and Matthew Wadsworth appear to share a sixth sense, connecting one to the other in performance to reach the deepest recesses of imagination and spiritual insight. Their lunchtime programme is fuelled by the vitality of English song, with its close relationship to folk art and poetry, and by the creative genius of Dowland, Purcell and Britten.

John Dowland : Come again! Sweet love doth now invite

Two outstanding musicians – cellist Răzvan Suma and pianist Rebeca Omordia – will be touring the UK in March 2017 to showcase music by British composers, including a World Premiere performance.
Blackheath Halls
23 Lee Road, London SE3 9RQ
United Kingdom

Tickets: FREE
For pianist Rebeca Omordia, continuing her exploration of music by British composers has led to a UK and Romanian tour with cellist, Răzvan Suma; resident cellist and director of the Romanian National Broadcasting Orchestras.
Their programme of British works for cello and piano will include John Ireland's powerful Cello Sonata, Ian Venables' heart-rending ‘Elegy’, and 'Fast Music'; a new work written especially for the tour by Robert Matthew-Walker.
Matthew-Walker is a prolific composer, having written over 160 works, although he is perhaps better-known to classical audiences as a music critic. Written at the request of Omordia, it was the composer’s idea that the piece be called ‘Fast Music’.
“On researching the repertoire, the soloists could find no short fast pieces to contrast with the prevailing slow or moderate ones”, explained Matthew-Walker. “The new work is in a single movement, lasting seven minutes, and is fast throughout, the final bars catching a glimpse of music in a quite different style – but still fast!”
For cellist Răzvan Suma, John Ireland's Cello Sonata was one of the greatest musical revelations; “It is a work full of melancholy and drama - almost brutal at times - and wrapped up in a grandiose and solid sonata structure”, he explained. “I was fortunate to perform the transcription of the work for cello and strings in a live broadcast with the Romanian Chamber Broadcasting Orchestra in Bucharest last summer and I am looking forward to performing it again with Rebeca on tour in 2017.”
"John Ireland's Cello Sonata is one of his darkest works, inspired by the supernatural world of Arthur Machen's writings”, said pianist Rebeca Omordia. “It's full of mystery and poses technical and musical challenges for the pianist. I've played it many times, with cellists Julian and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber and Raphael Wallfisch, and now with the celebrated Romanian cellist, Răzvan Suma, with whom I have performed it in Romania.”
Rebeca’s recent acclaimed performances of John Ireland’s Piano Sonata, ‘Legend’ for Piano and Orchestra and several of the composer’s outstanding miniatures have dazzled audiences and critics alike.
Sponsored by the Romanian Cultural Institute and the John Ireland Trust, the UK tour is to be followed by performances in Romania and a live broadcast from the Radio Hall in Bucharest on 17th May. Rebeca’s debut recording features Vaughan Williams’s ‘Introduction and Fugue’ with pianist Mark Bebbington and has recently been released on the SOMM label.
Robert Matthew-Walker : Fast Music for cello and piano Op.158 (2016)
Ian Venables : Elegy, Op.2
John Ireland : Cello Sonata in G minor

The NLCC celebrates its 25th anniversary with new commissions alongside choral favourites by Britten and others.
Over the past 25 years NLCC has built a tradition of commissioning new music for children’s voices. Previous composers include Joseph Phibbs, Tansy Davies, Diana Burrell, John Woolrich and Gary Carpenter.This tradition, as well as contributing to the body of music available for children’s voices, ensures that choir members have valuable experience working with composers in bringing new works to life. And so it’s fitting that the choir’s 25th birthday be marked by a new body of work.
Launched by Ronald Corp OBE in 1991, the NLCC offers a unique opportunity for children aged 7–18 to learn to sing and to enjoy all kinds of music. Members are offered extraordinary opportunities, appearing with some of the world’s finest symphony orchestras and conductors. They have toured with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, performed at numerous charity events and featured on the soundtrack of the 2015 Disney film, Cinderella.

There’s a London première for Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s A Sea of Cold Flame, the last of his many settings of poems by Orcadian writer George Mackay Brown, two pieces by Colin Matthews, his virtuosic Fuga and a new work specially written for Roderick Williams, and another world première, Simon Holt’s wind quintet.

Shostakovich: New Babylon

An exceptional opportunity to hear the score as the composer himself intended - Shostakovich’s hitherto lost original piano score to the newly restored and expanded avant-garde Soviet masterpiece about the revolutionary 1871 Paris Commune.
Shostakovich’s spectacular first film score, New Babylon, was written when he was just 23 years old and is, alongside The Nose, his most important early dramatic work. Numerous re-writes of the film were demanded even before shooting started and the directors’ final cut completed in December 1928, when the composer was contracted to join the production. His myriad musical quotations matched a fast cross-cut film to produce a work of astonishing complexity and precision unequalled in silent film composition.
However, after two industry preview screenings with the composer himself performing his original solo piano score, the Moscow Sovkino office ordered the removal of over 20% of the film. Re-editing Shostakovich’s score to match proved impossible, parts were incomplete and early performances, a series of debacles, were beyond the abilities of cinema orchestras. Remaining copies of the piano score, destined for smaller cinemas and now unfitted for the re-edited film, were sold off. A rare surviving copy has provided the material for this first public performance.
USSR 1929 Dir Grigorii Kozintsev, Leonid Trauberg 95 min
We're delighted to be joined by John Leman Riley, author of Shostakovich: A Life in Film to introduce the screening.

Altered time
“I am in a prison”, György Ligeti once wrote. “One wall is the avant-garde, the other wall is the past, and I want to escape.”
The second event in this new series at Kings Place celebrates one of the 20th century’s most progressive minds. Ligeti found his escape plan – his turning point – in a more spontaneous approach to composition, using free-form drawings to express shape, colour and contour before committing a single note to the page. From the compelling absurdity of Poeme Symphonique for 100 metronomes to the glittering colours of his Melodien, we explore Ligeti’s radical, time-bending compositional methods.
