Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....
Tomorrow MTT leads the CSO in Tchaik/6 and Nicola Benedetti is the soloist in Prokofiev Second VC. $ days later we are attending a CSO Brass Holiday Concert
Quatuor Danel's complete cycle of the string quartets of Mieczyslaw Weinberg in his centenary year. There are 7 concets over 4 days at the Martin Harris Centre, Manchester University - lunchtime and evening 24-26 Jan, plus lunchtime on 27 Jan. The quartet will be playing his works in chronological order and end with David Fanning joining in a performance of the Piano Quintet (a very moving work comparable with those of Shostakovich and Schnittke). I believe that there are plenty of tickets left (the hall is rarely more than a third full) and the Thursday and Friday lunchtime concerts are free!
'Quel augellin che canta’ – the EXAUDI Italian Madrigal Book, old and new Italian madrigals, Durham Vocal Festival on 29th January.
Except visitors now preclude me from going; but there is a similar concert by Exaudi, from a festival in Royaument last September, on France Musique tonight (8th Jan)

I'm hoping to get to a couple of these.
I agree about the Quintet.

Decisions, decisions. Friday sees two London events featuring the work of Strach Orchestra composers. At Cafe OTO, Michael Parsons at 80, and the one I have committed to attending (and recording), a Cardew Foundation cncert at Morley College. Hopefully I will eventually get the oportunity of listening to an in-house recording of the former. A most unfortunate clash of events.

I’ve bought a ticket for Quartets 10,11 and 12 on the Saturday afternoon,hoping to get to at least one of the free ones too.

Decisions, decisions. A week tomorrow there is a choice of two concerts of new music for me. Domestic acousmatics from Manuella Blackburn at City University, or new works using thematic material intended by Bach for use in the incomplete Orgelbüchlein (BBC Singers at St Peter's, Eaton Square). I think the Manuella Blackburn will win out.
