Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....

[Pulcinella]

Pace my posting #536, my partner and I will be in London next weekend, visiting my godson and his wife in their new (to them) house in Wanstead, so we might try to go to the RFH Stravinsky concert on the Sunday evening on our way back home.

Philharmonia/Salonen
Stravinsky: Symphonies of wind instruments, Agon, The rite of spring.

I assume that it will not be a sell out, so I hope it should be possible to get tickets on the day, and thus avoid booking fees etc.
Anyone else going?

Plenty of tix left, should be some good informal upgrades available.
I see there is dancing involved.
Looks good.

The Rite is definitely a Salonen speciality. Tempted to acquire a choir seat as near as possible to the timps

This Sunday,

Dvorak 8 and Cello Concerto
Gary Hoffman,Halle,Elder,Bridgewater Hall

Well excited is maybe too strong a word,and we don't have tickets,but we fancy a concert this weekend.
Couldn't put Mrs ER through another Mahler 2 (BBC Phil,Sinaisky,Saturday),did so many years ago and she never got over it,and I'm not in the Mahler groove these days anyway.
But I do love Dvorak's 8th,and Song to the Moon is one of SWMBO's few classical likes,so she will hopefully enjoy this,should be nice.

O.k., so I don't have a ticket as such, but will be there for the Dave Smith piano recital onFriday 9th September.

It's at 6.30 in Schotts recital room

48 Great Marlborough Street
London W1F 7BB



It will consist of John Tilbury's 25 solo piano transcriptions of Beatles songs made during the 1970s + 1980s.

Definitely one for the diary.

Just managed (second last seat available) to book for Beethoven's A major op 47 and G major op 96 Violin Sonatas next Wednesday at the Wigmore Hall with the potentially very interesting combo of Julia Fischer and Igor Levit. It will be a reward (I hope) for a day of meetings.

That should be fantastic - two really wonderful musicians!

On Saturday 27th August, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under their new chief conductor Danielle Gatti inaugurate RCO Meets Europe in the National Concert Hall in Dublin. This is the first stop in an adventure which will span two and a half seasons and see the orchestra perform in all 28 member states of the EU. (The UK concert is scheduled for 2017, so presumably will go ahead as Brexit will not have kicked in by then.)

The programme consists of Weber's Oberon Overture, the Schumann Cello Concerto (with Sol Gabetta) and Bruckner's Symphony No. 4. Members of the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland will join the RCO in the Weber (each of the 28 concerts will feature members of the host country's youth orchestra).

The RCO were not in action for the only concert I've been to in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, so I'm delighted they've decided to come to me to make up for that. Tickets are pricey (very), which means I'll be confined to the choir balcony – not to worry: it'll be good to see maestro Gatti face to face rather than only from behind as is my usual point of view.
