Friday, November 9, 2012 at 7:00pm - c. 9:30pm Morton Feldman's "Triadic Memories" Holywell Music Room, Oxford Holywell Street, Oxford United Kingdom aphekhayasidlala@tiscali.co.uk
Tickets: £10 / £8 seniors / £5 students Luke Berryman
"Triadic Memories" is a vast single-movement work lasting approximately two hours. Like other compositions of Morton Feldman's final years, it's closely related to the aesthetics of Mark Rothko's paintings, and is characterised by stasis and extremely quiet dynamics. The unusual title refers partly to an attempt to evoke memory itself: listening to this piece is like flicking through an old photograph album. Its delicate, slowly-shifting harmonies reach toward something that was once definite, but is now lost in time. It was perhaps this fragility that led the composer to aptly describe the piece as "the largest butterfly in captivity".
"Triadic Memories" has only been performed a handful of times across the world, and the 25th anniversary of Feldman's death falls this year. All in all, this concert promises to be a special occasion.

Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 7:30PM BMOP Performs "Midsummer Marriage" 11/10 Jordan Hall, Boston 30 Gainsborough Street United States 617-585-1260 http://www.newenglandconservatory.edu
Tickets: $20-$50 Music + Libretto by Sir Michael Tippett (1905-1998)
Premiered: Jan 27, 1955 at London, Royal Opera House Covent Garden
Soloists: Julius Ahn, tenor; Sara Heaton, soprano; David Kravitz, baritone; Deborah Selig, soprano; Matthew DiBattista, tenor; Joyce Castle, mezzo-soprano
Originally scheduled to receive its New England premiere in February 2012 by Opera Boston (of which BMOP’s Gil Rose was formerly the artistic director), The Midsummer Marriage performance never came to fruition since the opera company shuttered its doors in 2011. Thanks to BMOP, Boston audiences now have a chance to hear Tippett’s first and most celebrated opera.

Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 7:30pm Brahms, Jonathan Dove and Elgar Wigmore Hall, London 36 Wigmore St, London W1 United Kingdom 02079352141 http://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk
Tickets: £12 £16 £22 £24 The Schubert Ensemble
In this fitting programme for Remembrance Sunday the Schubert Ensemble performs Elgar’s warm, autumnal Piano Quintet, written at the end of World War I, together with Brahms’s deeply personal Piano Quartet No. 3, with possibly the most gorgeous slow movement in the repertoire. These late romantic masterpieces contrast vividly with Jonathan Dove’s sparkling and energetic Piano Quintet, written for the Ensemble in 2009.
