SUMMARY:*Sold out* Mishima by Philip Glass - Bristol Ensemble Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Spectra Anna Thorvaldsdottir\nStringsongs Meredith Monk\nReflections Anna Thorvaldsdottir\nString Quartet No.3 ‘Mishima’ Philip Glass\n\nAn hour of contemporary music for string quartet\, exploring timescales in human memory and the natural environment.\n\nString Quartet No.3 by Philip Glass forms the core of the programme\, with the mesmerising cross rhythms and hypnotic quality for which the composer is so well known. Based on music Glass wrote for a film based on the life of Japanese author Yukio Mishima\, this short quartet references moments in the writer’s life.\n\nIcelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s work is deeply inspired by the elemental landscapes of her native country. Her work for strings explores primordial textures\, combining emotional intensity with glacial stasis. \nA pioneer of interdisciplinary art\, for over five decades\, Meredith Monk has worked across composition\, performance\, choreography and direction. She has developed a unique style which links the archaic with the experimental. Stringsongs was written for the Kronos Quartet in 2005\, and has been described by critic Tom Service as having a ‘mysterious mythic power’. \nTickets £15 full price\, £8 concessions for all who need it\, available online at www.arnolfini.org.uk/whatson/mishima

SUMMARY:Stroud Choral: The Haydn Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Book now\nStroud Choral Society\nBristol Ensemble\nSimon Bell conductor \nMichael Haydn Requiem in C\nJoseph Haydn Nelson Mass \nStroud Choral Society led by their Musical Director Simon Bell will perform two works by the Haydn brothers – firstly\, the beautiful Requiem in C by the lesser known Michael Haydn (1737 – 1806) whose Requiem greatly influenced Mozart. \nThe second part of the concert features the well known Nelson Mass\, or as originally entitled\,  the Missa in Angustiis\, (Mass for troubled times) by Joseph Haydn. This piece is argued to be his finest work and is the culmination of his late work of liturgical music. Written at the time of stunning military success by Napoleon against Haydn’s Austria\, it was performed as news broke of Nelson’s victory at The Battle of the Nile and thus acquired its enduring name. \nTickets are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk

The concert will be sung in German and takes place within a few days of the work’s 300th anniversary\, connecting us across the centuries to all the listeners who have experienced the power and immediacy of this remarkable music in a live performance. \nBach’s first great sacred masterpiece brings to life the humanity of the drama. The choir takes on the role of the people\, reflecting on the progression of the Easter story. The narrative is sung by the tenor Evangelist\, exquistely beautiful arias provide moments of contemplation\, and the entire work is bound together by chorales\, German hymns enhanced by Bach’s harmonic invention. The work culminates in the intense and loving chorus Ruht wohl. This is ultimately an optimistic piece\, the most personal and meditative of Bach’s Passion settings.  \nTickets are £16 to £28 with discounts for students in full time education and under 18s.

SUMMARY:Tea-Time Concert
DESCRIPTION:Henry Mancini The Pink Panther\, Moon River\, The Impossible Dream\nAntonín Dvořák Piano Trio No.4 in E minor ‘Dumky’ Op.90 \nRoger Huckle violin\nHarriet Wiltshire cello\nPaul Israel piano \nThis recital brings together music from some very different sound worlds\, marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of the American composer Henry Mancini  with performances of some of his most iconic music including The Pink Panther\, and Dvořák’s Piano Trio. \nWritten in 1890-91\, Dvořák’s groundbreaking piano trio is rooted in Slavic folk music. Its six movements are based on dumka – Ukrainian folk songs – characterised by their abrupt changes from doleful laments to exuberant outbursts. Dvorák’s intention in incorporating this particular type of folk music was to create a work that spoke deeply to people and since its first performance in Prague on 11 April 1891\, the trio has been among the most successful of his chamber works. \nTea and home made cakes served at 4pm. \nTickets £15 (£13 for those on low incomes)\, available online from Eventbrite or on the door. Under 18s free of charge.

SUMMARY:Gavin Bryars Double Bill: Sinking of the Titanic and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet
DESCRIPTION:Bristol Ensemble performs The Sinking of the Titanic by British minimalist composer Gavin Bryars. The work was inspired by the story that the band on the RMS Titanic continued to perform as the ship sank in 1912 and imagines how the music performed by the band would reverberate through the water some time after they ceased performing. Composed between 1969 and 1972\, the work is now considered one of the classics of British classical experimental music. \nIt was first recorded in 1975 when it became the first release on Brian Eno’s Obscure Records. The programme includes Bryars’ arrangement of the religious song Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet which he heard in London in 1971 whilst working on a film about people living rough in the area around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo Station. In the course of being filmed\, some people broke into drunken song – sometimes bits of opera\, sometimes sentimental ballads – and one\, who in fact did not drink\, sang the song Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet. \nThe programme includes the world premiere of Marcus Davidson’s Felefantasi\, a work inspired by the Norwegian Fele\, the way it’s played (technique wise) and the music written for it. \nTickets £20 for adults\, £15 for students in full time education and under 25 year olds are available online.
