[Serial_Apologist]

I first encountered this pair when they participated in Feldman's For Philip Guston at St John's, Smith Square a few years ago. Very much looking forward to tonight's event, though it does mean some 9 hours from departure to return home for a fairly short concert (as all these Tuesday Performance Space event are. Friday 13th promises to be a lucky one for me. BBCCO at Maida Vale in the early afternoon:

Purcell arr. Joby Talbot Chacony in G minor
Mahler arr. Britten What the Wild Flowers Tell Me (Symphony No. 3 - third movement)
Finzi Dies Natalis
Korngold orch. Zemlinksy Der Schneemann: Prelude & Serenade
Janacek arr. Erwin Stein Sinfonietta

Anna-Maria Helsing (conductor)
Alessandro Fisher (tenor)
BBC Concert Orchestra

followed by a leisurely journey by buses to City University for Vingt Regards (Ian Pace) from 6 pm,

That looks like a lovely concert at Abbey Rd.

Just secured ticket for next July's Melbourne SO performance of Elgar's Violin Concerto (my favourite) by Nicola Benedetti, conducted by Sir Andrew Davis - the latter has resigned after a decade as MSO Music Director so they are looking for a replacement.

We normally hear the MSO in their Geelong series (our 'home' city 70km SW of Melbourne) but it is not included so we will travel for this one. After the interval we will hear the Mussorgsky/Ravel Pictures which I don't think I have heard in concert since a BPO/Abbado Prom c.1981.

Last year SAD (excuse the acronym) did conduct the Dream of Gerontius here with Stuart Skelton which was excellent - the spirituality fortunately not undermined by the great heldentenor losing his way backstage after taking his curtain calls and wandering a few minutes later across the recently vacated choir seats while 'en déshabillé', to the amusement of the large proportion of the audience who were still present...

Not confirmed, as yet, but have applied for a ticket to:

BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Maida Vale Studios for a concert to be recorded for future broadcast in BBC Radio 3’s The New Music Show. Conductor Ilan Volkov and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Simon Höfele (trumpet) return to the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

This concert features the UK premiere of Musique de l'indifference by Bill Hopkins (1943-1981) which was recently world premiered in Germany by conductor Ilan Volkov. You will also discover Taxa, a gentle soundscape of the young London-based composer Oliver Leith.

Erika Fox, who came to England as a war refugee from Vienna at three-years-old, is now in her early 80s and writes the energetic Osen Shomaat. Since, Erika has recently been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Ivors Composer Awards 2019.

Trumpeter, Simon Höfele also joins the BBC SO for Bernd Alois Zimmerman’s signature work, his jazz-inflected Trumpet Concerto, inspired by the African-American spiritual “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen”, featured in the composition.
