Handel’s Messiah English Chamber Orchestra

Ruby Hughes soprano Robin Blaze countertenor Nicholas Mulroy tenor Ben McAteer bass Simon Wright conductor Winchester Consort English Chamber Orchestra When King George II first heard Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, it is said that he jumped to his feet with excitement. But if Hallelujah! is all you know of Handel’s Messiah, you’re in for a glorious surprise because every note is just as inspired.

Not so much an oratorio, more a national institution; this is simply some of the most uplifting music ever written and the ECO’s Advent Sunday performances at Cadogan Hall have become something of a seasonal tradition.

With Simon Wright conducting hand-picked singers of the Winchester Consort, we celebrate all the melody and majesty of this timeless classic.

Please note start time.

Freya Waley-Cohen Changeling (UK premiere) Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23 K488 Sibelius Symphony No. 3

Cimarosa Overture I traci amanti Elgar Serenade for Strings Haydn Concerto for two lira organizzate No. 1 in C major Stamitz Concerto for flute and oboe in G major Mozart Symphony No. 29 in A major

George Li piano Oliver Zeffman conductor ‘After hearing my Third Symphony RimskyKorsakov shook his head and said: “Why don’t you do it the usual way?”… And now I am certain that my symphonies are played more than his.’

So wrote Sibelius is 1940, 33 years after his Third Symphony premiered to a bemused audience hungry for more over the top Romanticism. Now we know it for what it is – the first ‘Sibelian’ symphony, with the subtlety and melodic development that became his trademark.

It’s paired here with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, a remarkable piece which contemporary audiences were barely given the chance to hear, as he claimed to keep it as one of the ‘compositions which I keep for myself or for a small circle of music-lovers and connoisseurs.’

Tickets: £40, £30, £20, £10 ENCORE Members: £5 off top price tickets Students and under 18s (in person with valid ID only): £5 Series and group discounts available

Ana de la Vega flute Ramón Ortega Quero oboe David Juritz director A combination of instruments barely explored since the great Swiss collaboration of Heinz Holliger and Aurèle Nicolet in the early 1980s, the ECO and star soloists Ana de la Vega (flute) and Ramón Ortega Quero (oboe) bring to life some of Haydn’s very late works – commissions

by King Ferdinand of Naples, and forgotten gems by Karl Stamitz which have remained in manuscript for over 300 years. Full of life, genius and operatic charm, these works uncover the mystic love affair between the flute and oboe – a relationship intrinsic, almost cornerstone, to the symphonic repertoire, now bought to the fore.

The Benny Goodman Orchestra’s famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert

Orchestre National de Lille Zurich International Orchestra Series 2019–20

The Jazz Repertory Company Pete Long and his Goodmen Joan Viskant vocals The return of the show that has sold out Cadogan Hall on all four previous occasions.

Bandleader and clarinettist Pete Long (Ronnie Scott’s Big Band, Echoes of Ellington and sax star of Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra) presents a superlative recreation of one of the greatest concerts in jazz history.

The 16 musicians of the Goodmen will recreate Benny Goodman’s famous Carnegie Hall concert which featured swing stars such as trumpeter Harry James and drummer Gene Krupa. It was also the first time that black and white jazz musicians appeared together on the concert stage in the USA with Lionel Hampton on vibes, Teddy Wilson on piano, and Duke Ellington and Count Basie band members making guest appearances. In 1938 the musicians played without amplification and the wonderful acoustics of Cadogan Hall make it possible for our anniversary concert to do likewise.

Ravel Ma Mère l’Oye Suite Debussy La Mer Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 Ravel La Valse Eric Lu piano Alexandre Bloch conductor The Orchestre National de Lille promises to shine in this programme packed with luscious French textures and evocative melodies from the very best of the French composers: Ravel and Debussy. Completing the programme with its poise and grace is Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, performed by 2018 Leeds International Piano Competition Winner Eric Lu, whose recent release of this Concerto garnered great critical acclaim.

‘Artistry of that kind is rare in pianists of any age; to find it in a 20-year old is simply astounding’ The Daily Telegraph Arpège is happy to sponsor the UK tour of Orchestre National de Lille.

Mendelssohn Elijah Elin Manahan Thomas soprano Katie Bray mezzo-soprano Ed Lyon tenor Colin Schachat baritone City of London Choir London Mozart Players Hilary Davan Wetton conductor An exciting cast of soloists joins the London Mozart Players and the City of London Choir for a vivid interpretation of Elijah: the biblical epic brought to life by Mendelssohn’s beautiful and powerful score.

Leia Zhu violin Joseph Wolfe conductor Music, like nature, occasionally produces something that looks much like a miracle.

In the 19th century, it was the teenage prodigy Felix Mendelssohn. In 2019, it’s the 13-year old violin virtuoso Leia Zhu, who’s astonished audiences and critics across Europe, and tonight makes her British concerto debut in Mendelssohn’s hugely popular Violin Concerto.

‘It is fun,’ she says. ‘That’s also the beauty of making music. Each time, it is different.’

Fresh, brilliant and utterly life-affirming, her performance will be the heart of a whole evening of music specially chosen to prove that where genius is concerned, youth is a state of mind.

Please note start time.

Biber Battalia à 10 Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5 Warlock Capriol Suite Haydn Symphony No. 44, ‘Trauer’

Glinka A Life for the Tsar Overture Brahms Double Concerto Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5

Benjamin Beilman violin/director If you like your orchestral music with a little flair and lots of drama, look no further. Mozart’s virtuosic violin concert sits side by side with Haydn’s Trauer or Mourning symphony – a piece so achingly brilliant the composer himself requested that it was played at his funeral.

Two slightly more unusual pieces – baroque composer Biber’s Battalia à 10 and the 20th-century Capriol Suite – provide a collection of sparkling dance rhythms, from European folk to the Renaissance court.

Duncan Riddell violin Richard Harwood cello Domingo Hindoyan conductor Few works could be described as a cornerstone of Russian music better than Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. The use of the recurring Fate theme as an emotional core paints new orchestral colours in each movement with intensity and purpose. Its frequent use hints also at a deep anxiety plaguing the composer, underlying even when the sullen final movement is broken by a triumphant conclusion. Despite the composer’s doubts, it is rightfully celebrated as one of the great Romantic symphonies.

Brahms’ Double Concerto written for violin, cello and orchestra makes for an exquisite first half with RPO Leader Duncan Riddell and Principal Cello Richard Harwood. A masterpiece of virtuosic writing and instrumentation, Brahms’ last orchestral work set new boundaries for the possibilities of the concerto form.

Wagner Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 Hans von Bülow Nirwana Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn Mariam Batsashvili piano Alexander Shelley conductor Wagner’s incomparable opera Tristan und Isolde features in the second concert of Alexander Shelley’s 360° series, exploring musical influences and relationships that inspired great composers. The profoundly meditative Prelude opens the opera with lush orchestration, expressive harmonies and chromaticism that divided those who heard it in its day, irrevocably influencing the course of Western music in the 19th century.

Bülow and Liszt were both contemporaries and supporters of Wagner, whose personal relationships are well documented through Wagner’s scandalous affair with Liszt’s daughter – Bülow’s wife. Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Bülow’s Nirwana exhibit a Wagnerian fanaticism, but countering this is Brahms, whose stalwart conservative voice of the era is heard in the classically influenced Variations on a Theme

by Haydn.
