SUMMARY:Refracted Sound
DESCRIPTION:Written shortly before the composer’s death\, Morton Feldman’s expansive For Samuel Beckett is a meditatively shifting work\, in which tiny differences between endless rhythmic and harmonic permutations suspend space and time. \nA giant of American minimalism\, Feldman’s experiments with scale and entropy led him to an obsession with quietly powerful music: this evocative piece seems to appear from nowhere and float on elsewhere after is end. \nThe Royal Academy of Music’s talented Mason Ensemble will join our players side-by-side on stage to perform this mysterious and beautiful work. \nProgramme includes:\nMorton Feldman  For Samuel Beckett\nJack Sheen  Conductor\nRoyal Academy of Music Mason Ensemble\nLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Schoenberg: Reshaping Tradition
DESCRIPTION:London Sinfonietta open our 2024/25 season with a portrait of one of the most misunderstood pioneers of the early 20th-century avant-garde. Arnold Schoenberg’s early works such as his Chamber Symphony\, written in 1906\, expanded the lush harmonies of late Romanticism to the extent that it scandalised audiences and incited them to riot at the strange physicality of the sounds they were hearing. \nSchoenberg and his pupils\, among them Anton Webern\, pushed this experiment in chromaticism to its extreme conclusion\, eventually doing away with tonality in its entirety in the development of the twelve-tone system\, also known as serialism or dodecaphony. The school of composition had a profound effect on the rest of the 20th Century\, influencing composers who followed including Elisabeth Lutyens. \nThis most recent edition in London Sinfonietta’s series of season-opening composer portraits celebrates Schoenberg in his 150th anniversary year. With pre-concert talks and video\, this event will provide a thought-provoking and engaging introduction to a composer who changed the tradition he worked within. \nArnold Schoenberg  Serenade Op. 24\nAnton Webern  Symphony Op. 21\nArnold Schoenberg  Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte Op. 41\nArnold Schoenberg  Piano Pieces Op.19\nElisabeth Lutyens  Six Tempi for 10 Instruments\nArnold Schoenberg  Chamber Symphony Op. 9 \nConductor  Jonathan Berman \nLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Marius Neset: Geyser
DESCRIPTION:Our third collaboration with the saxophone virtuoso and composer \n\n\n\nLondon Sinfonietta is reunited with “marvel” Norwegian saxophone virtuoso and composer Marius Neset to perform their “elemental” third collaboration\, Geyser. Tension boils under the surface of this piece\, unleashed intermittently in ecstatic outbursts of rhythmic energy\, and echoed in the friction between Marius’ jazz quintet and the crack new music ensemble. \n\n\n\nThis third collaboration highlights Marius’ increasing affinity for the ensemble’s sound\, building on their two previous collaborations\, Snowmelt (2015) and Viaduct (2019). \n\n\n\n“With an expanded palette to play with… Neset ran riot in a spellbinding performance that ran the gamut of musical emotions and secured energetic applause and hollering\, and three curtain calls… Neset’s quintet and the London Sinfonietta meshed seamlessly\, each playing to their strengths\, creating a musical pairing that embodied the old but nevertheless valuable cliché that the whole was something more than the sum of its parts.” (London Jazz News) \n\n\n\nMarius Neset  Geyser \n\n\n\nMarius Neset  saxophonesIvo Neame  pianoJim Hart  vibraphone/marimba/percussionConor Chaplin  bass Anton Eger  drumsGeoffrey Paterson  conductorLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Ligeti 100
DESCRIPTION:London Sinfonietta celebrates the life of provocatively distinctive composer György Ligeti in his centenary year. Beloved of Stanley Kubrik\, Ligeti’s richly avant-garde “micro-polyphony” explores how texture can be a structural device\, and creates musical layers that create effects ranging from meditative stillness to cosmic existential terror. \n\n\n\nBefore the concert\, there will be performances and talks in the foyer of the Queen Elizabeth Hall\, demonstrating the unique and expressive voice of this remarkable composer. \n\n\n\nProgramme to include:György Ligeti  6 Bagatelles for Wind QuintetGyörgy Ligeti (arr Abrahamsen)  No 5 “Arc-en-ciel” and No 11 “En suspens” from Études (arranged for chamber ensemble)György Ligeti  Balada si jocGyörgy Ligeti  Cello ConcertoUnsuk Chin  Advice from a Caterpillar from Alice in WonderlandConlon Nancarrow (arr.

SUMMARY:Fireworks
DESCRIPTION:A night of virtuosic fireworks from different musical and cultural traditions. The sounds of the far East in Dai Fujikura’s Shamisen Concerto are tempered by “a cadenza-like solo of dizzying rapidity that evokes prog-rock guitar as much as Paganini” (New York Times)\, while Tania León’s Rítmicas is based on “a rainbow of polyrhythmic inventions emerging from the Son and Guaguancó clave” of Cuba. The micropolyphonic textures of the oldest piece in tonight’s programme\, György Ligeti’s Chamber Concerto\, still sound as new as at its premiere in 1970. \n\n\n\nAugusta Read Thomas  new work (UK Premiere)Dai Fujikura  Shamisen Concerto (UK Premiere)Tania León  RítmicasGyörgy Ligeti  Chamber Concerto \n\n\n\nHidejiro Honjoh  shamisenVimbayi Kaziboni  conductorLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Vortex Temporum: Daniel Pioro\, Michael Morpurgo & London Sinfonietta
DESCRIPTION:This concert focuses on our perceptions of time\, through two very different yet complementary masterpieces. The London Sinfonietta and Daniel Pioro will perform Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum\, a work that takes us through three time frames: ‘normal’\, human time\, the ‘expanded’ time of whales and the ‘compressed’ time of birds\, via this pioneering spectralist composer’s virtuoso imagination. This late masterwork fulfilled Grisey’s vision of a music that transfigures our experience of time. On a symphonic scale\, revealing dizzying dances and lavish harmonic language\, the music carries us on a journey through boundary-breaking sound-worlds. \nAntonio Vivaldi  The Four Seasons\nGérard Grisey  Vortex temporum \nDaniel Pioro  violin\nGeoffrey Paterson  conductor\nSir Michael Morpurgo  narrator\nLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Sir Harrison Birtwistle: A Tribute
DESCRIPTION:“The purpose of life is to pass the message on”\,: so reads the inscription on an artwork by Bob Law\, which was the inspiration for The Message\, the duet which begins this concert in which London Sinfonietta pays tribute to one of its longest-standing collaborators\, Sir Harrison Birtwistle. This concert spans Birtwistle’s varied output\, ranging from the duet written for the Ensemble’s 40th birthday to the epic and theatrical Verses\, the first piece the composer wrote for the London Sinfonietta and requiring musicians to walk around the stage in strange and ritual processions.  In the second half\, performed side-by-side with musicians from the Royal Academy of Music\, The Fields of Sorrow was first composed for amateur musicians\, while In Broken Images\, co-commissioned by the London Sinfonietta\, celebrates the formation of the Italian state.  Tonight’s concert is a showcase of an enormous\, varied and mysterious ingenuity – and at its heart\, it is a celebration of our relationship with the late\, great composer.

SUMMARY:Sleeping Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Premiere of Juste Janulyte’s new work\nJuste Janulyte‘s music moves over the listener like a wave\, bathing you in warm sonorities and rich harmonies. Taking a lot of her inspiration from visual aspects of the natural world such as shifting clouds and falling snow\, Janulyte’s monochromatic compositions seem to play with temperature and density of sound.\n\nSleeping Patterns is woven from seven hypnotically repetitive patterns of slightly different tempos\, which intertwine throughout the ensemble. The piece echoes a sleeping human body and all the regular but not synchronised sounds of our heartbeat\, blood flow\, and breathing create in sleep.\n\nProgramme to include:\nLisa Streich  Älv\, Alv\, Alva\nTyshawn Sorey  For Olly Woodrow Wilson Jr.\nJack Sheen  new work (world premiere)\nJuste Janulyte  Sleeping Patterns (UK premiere)\nSalvatore Sciarrino  da un Divertimento\n\nJack Sheen  conductor\nLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Quartet for the End of Time
DESCRIPTION:Penderecki’s 70-year composing career exemplified the arc of Polish musical modernism\, and in 2012 The Guardian called him ‘arguably Poland’s greatest living composer’. He died in 2020\, leaving behind an influential body of large-scale works but also a wealth of striking and intellectual chamber music. We will be performing two of these chamber pieces\, Per Slava and Quartet\, for clarinet & string trio. These will be followed by Messiaen’s ‘Quartet for the End of Time’\, created when the composer was interned in a prisoner-of-war camp in eastern Germany during the Second World War.

SUMMARY:Xenakis: Architect of Sound
DESCRIPTION:Step into the musical world of Iannis Xenakis in his centenary year: a ferociously intellectual world in which the mathematical forces which govern the atoms and elements making up our physical beings also provide the basis for musical form and understanding. Xenakis’ joyously visceral aesthetic shocked even the musical avant-garde in the 1950s and even now comes across as stunningly and unpredictably futuristic\, even as its subject matter conjures up ancient gods and monsters. \n\n\n\nThe London Sinfonietta has long had a close relationship with Xenakis and his music\, commissioning and performing the premiere of Phlegra in 1976 and with the composers who drew influence from Xenakis’ new sonic architecture. \n\n\n\nIannis Xenakis  O-megaIannis Xenakis  PalimpsestIannis Xenakis  ÉchangeIannis Xenakis  Thalleïn \n\n\n\nPhilip Howard  solo pianoMark van de Wiel  solo clarinetGeoffrey Paterson  conductorLondon Sinfonietta

SUMMARY:Immix Ensemble & Forest Swords - ‘Trespassing’
DESCRIPTION:Immix Ensemble & Forest Swords perform ‘Trespassing’ at New Music Biennial 2019 \nFri 5th July – London – Queen Elizabeth Hall\, Southbank Centre\nFri 12th July – Hull – Fruit \nLondon (free) Ticketing:\nhttps://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/135211-trespassing-2019 \nHull (free) Ticketing\nhttps://www.absolutelycultured.co.uk/whats-on/events/nmb19/ \nDebuting at New Music Biennial\, a new collaboration between Immix Ensemble and Forest Swords seeks to investigate our rapidly transforming cityscapes\, and how we exist within them. \nTrespassing uses construction blueprints\, field recordings and architectural data as a starting point to synthesise a new musical piece. Deconstructing the new-build developments emerging across British skylines – apartments\, prefabricated office blocks and retail environments – the piece takes the gleaming materials and frameworks of these spaces to map out a composition that merges contemporary classical instrumentation and electronics. \nFocusing initially on Liverpool\, the piece highlights the tensions of cities torn between past\, present and future: its layered identities becoming increasingly confused. Trespassing is the first stage of a project that examines the future of the places we live: how do we feel ownership over our public and private spaces when things change so rapidly? And what effect might these new developments have on how a city actually sounds? \n“All of us have roots in Liverpool” says Barnes\, “and have seen the consequences these new constructions have had on the way a city functions and how we engage with it – emotionally\, physically\, and in terms of how we listen to it too. It’s a story being played out across all British cities\, and the impact on communities and cultural spaces is being felt in a powerful way.” \nImmix Ensemble formed in 2014\, as part of a Metal Time and Space residency\, to join up the conversation between the classical and pop music voices within the city. Signed to acclaimed label Erased Tapes\, they are now in their third series of unique\, collaborative performances. \nSince the release of his two celebrated albums\, Engravings and Compassion\, Forest Swords has collaborated with Massive Attack\, remixed Bjork\, and was a recent curator in the DJ-Kicks compilation series. He has also explored multidisciplinary work in the form of Shrine\, a contemporary dance piece. \nThe New Music Biennial is a PRS Foundation initiative that supports and provides a platform for organisations and music creators who are pushing the boundaries of new music in the UK. It creates a world class programme of commissions\, performed across the UK\, broadcast by BBC Radio 3. 2019’s participants include Shiva Feshareki\, Gazelle Twin\, London Contemporary Orchestra and more. \nTrespassing\, commissioned by Metal and produced by Absolutely Cultured and Southbank\, is to be performed at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on July 5 and Hull’s Fruit space on July 12. Free entry. \nThe London show is followed by an afterparty at the Southbank Centre featuring Forest Swords and Lotic DJ sets.
