SUMMARY:Bristol Choral Society: Symphony of Psalms
DESCRIPTION:Bristol Choral Society\nBristol Ensemble\nHilary Campbell – conductor\nSteven Kings – piano\nMarija Struckova – piano\nVanessa Bowers – soprano\nJamie W Hall – baritone \nStravinsky Symphony of Psalms\nFauré Requiem \nNot for Fauré the Requiem ‘shock and awe’ of a Mozart\, Berlioz or Verdi. Refined over a decade\, his Mass for the Dead sustains an abiding solace discharged in the luminescent hope and reassurance of the concluding In Paradisium. \nFirst though there’s profound spirituality of a different order as glittering woodwind\, brass\, two pianos and harp queue up to reflect the laser-sharp light of Stravinsky’s triptych ‘symphonising the singing of Psalms’. \nIt’s prefaced by more Stravinsky\, his time in black and white: his wartime Sonata for two pianos\, a work shot through with crystalline neoclassicism. \nTickets from £11 to £28\, under 25s £5. Seniors 10% discount. Available online from Bristol Beacon box office

SUMMARY:Music of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:City of Bristol Choir\nBristol Ensemble \nDavid Ogden conductor\nAmy Dickson saxophone\nRichard Johnson piano\nRebecca Afonwy-Jones mezzo soprano\nFelix Kemp baritone \nRichard Blackford Pietà\nRalph Vaughan Williams Dona nobis pacem\nAnatoly Avdievsky Ukrainian Lullaby \nWith its dramatic\, visual quality\, gripping narrative and vividly descriptive scoring\, Pietà by Richard Blackford is a beautiful setting of the Stabat Mater text interspersed with poems from the Ukrainian born poet Anna Akhmatova. \nDescribed as a modern masterpiece\,  this intensely moving work was inspired by Michelangelo’s sculpture in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome and explores a mother grieving for her son. Since its premiere in 2019 the work has received an Ivor Novello award\, and City of Bristol Choir is proud to be the first choir to bring this intensely moving and remarkable work to Bristol\, joined by the internationally renowned saxophonist Amy Dickson\, Bristol Youth Choir and the strings of the Bristol Ensemble. \nThe acclaimed tenor Jonas Kaufmann writes of Pietà: “Richard Blackford has created an outstanding choral work: a passionate and personal tribute in memory of all who suffer from violence\, suppression and political persecution\, which has deeply impressed me. A modern composer who is not afraid of writing beautiful and touching music!” \nMarking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth\, the choir performs Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem\, a cry for peace which sets texts from the Bible and Walt Whitman to warn against the inevitability of an impending conflict. The composer’s service in the First World War gave him first-hand experience of the futility and suffering of war which he weaves into this dramatic and powerful piece. \nCity of Bristol Choir is pleased to present these two intensely moving pieces with their themes of consolation\, peace\, and reconciliation on Remembrance Sunday. Completing the programme is an arrangement of a tender Ukrainian Lullaby for saxophone and orchestra\, remembering the casualties not only of World Wars but also of recent conflicts. \nTickets £18 to £25 (half price for students in full time education and under 18s) available from City of Bristol Choir box office\, and St George’s box office.

SUMMARY:Tea-Time Concert: String Serenade
DESCRIPTION:Schubert String Trio in B flat D 471\nPhillip Glass String Quartet No. 2 ‘Company’\nMozart String Quintet in G minor K.516 \nThis programme of music for 3\, 4 and 5 players is a fascinating exploration of the versatility and inventiveness of chamber string ensemble repertoire. Schubert’s Trio was an unfinished work\, set aside by the composer at the age of 19 partway through the second movement and never completed. Schubert’s generosity of theme and melody contrasts with the minimalism of Philip Glass’s String Quartet. Mozart adds a second viola to the quartet for his rich and melancholic String Quintet\, written in his ‘tragic’ key of G minor. \nTea and home made cakes served at 4pm. \nTickets £15 (£13 for those on low incomes)\, available on the door. Under 18s free of charge.
