MAHLER & MOZART
Saturday 19th September 2009, 7:30 pm
St James Church, 197 Piccadilly
London W1J 9LL
|
| One of the greatest of symphonies, combining Mahler's love of nature,
his humour (bordering at times on the grotesque), with scintillating orchestration,
and a beautiful final movement with soprano solo (here sung by rising star
Stephanie Corley). Coupled with a display of some modern artists' responses to this symphony.

OUT WITH THE OLD?
Saturday 7th November 2009, 7:30 pm
St James Church, 197 Piccadilly
London W1J 9LL
|
| We begin in the glorious 'Old' world of Mozart's Don Giovanni.
We end with Dvorak's final symphony, inspired by the 'New' world of America.
Inbetween we have two very new pieces. All For Love is a slow, contemplative piece with
overlapping parts based on a carol with a pre-recorded speaker. Paradises
is a concerto for orchestra with both pre-recorded and live electro-acoustic
input. What will you say at the end of all this? Out with the old, in with the new?
Bring back the good old days? Can the two co-exist?
