WELCOME

to Turner Sims, Southampton Whilst the vuvuzela was the inescapable sound of the summer, thanks to the World Cup in South Africa, Autumn at Turner Sims brings a plethora of instruments to charm and enchant.

The voice is the most natural instrument of all, of course, and we celebrate this in a variety of ways. Bach’s joyous Christmas Oratorio is delivered by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. At the other end of the spectrum is the solo voice: Sally Matthews, with a programme including some of Canteloube’s evocative Chants d’Auvergne; Natacha Atlas’s captivating fusion of Western and Arabic, and new fado sensation Ana Moura all feature.

Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy, two artists inextricably linked with traditional music of England, bring their new programme to us in October.

Put the arts on your agenda Turner Sims offers a dynamic programme of corporate partnership opportunities that can benefit your organisation. l Generate greater brand awareness l Target new customers

Concert and education partners and supporters

l Invest in your community l Get involved in exciting new projects

Celebrations of a different type are evident elsewhere in the season. Legendary American composer Terry Riley is 75 this year and jazz trumpeter Kenny Wheeler is 80. Both visit in the Autumn.

There are anniversaries to celebrate too. The centenary of Django Reinhardt’s birth has inspired guitarist Martin Taylor to reform his Spirit of Django group. And whilst Reinhardt has been rather a slow burn in terms of profile Chopin has been omnipresent throughout this 200th anniversary year. Louis Lortie is one of his great interpreters and I’m delighted that we are able to bring this insightful artist to Turner Sims to present a pianistic Everest: the composer’s Etudes complete in one evening.

l Take advantage of excellent PR opportunities l Set your next product launch or company event in a unique, creative setting

PIANO SERIES

ORCHESTRAS LIVE

Six outstanding recitals in the intimate surroundings of Turner Sims make up this year’s Piano Series.

Our orchestral series brings some of the country’s leading groups to Turner Sims.

To open we present a pianist’s Everest, Chopin’s Etudes complete in one evening performed by one of their legendary interpreters, Louis Lortie. Jonathan Biss makes his Turner Sims debut with another momentous challenge, Beethoven’s Appassionata sonata. Charles Owen combines Bach with French repertoire, whilst Imogen Cooper’s programme includes Brahms’ birthday gift to Clara Schumann.

Last but not least, February marks the beginning of a major Schubert retrospective from Paul Lewis which will run until 2012.

Bach is our focus for the Autumn with two iconic works to enjoy: the Brandenburg Concertos in a special day of events for BBC Radio 3 with the Academy of Ancient Music, and the Christmas Oratorio, conducted by one of the great Bach interpreters, John Butt. 2011 sees Mark Padmore complete his Britten orchestral song cycle with the composer’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, whilst Russian virtuoso Nikolai Demidenko offers Mozart youthful piano concerto in a programme with the European Union Chamber Orchestra.

JAZZ @ TURNER SIMS

GLOBAL VOYAGES

Celebrations abound in the jazz series and none more so than for Kenny Wheeler, whose 80th birthday is celebrated with a special concert. Elsewhere Martin Taylor marks Django Reinhardt’s centenary whilst Courtney Pine pays homage to Sidney Bechet, and Art Blakey is remembered by pianist Ray d’Inverno.

Three leading American names – Napoleon Maddox, Robert Glasper and Christian Scott – bring their contemporary sounds to the series, whilst Denys Baptiste presents music from his eagerly awaited new album. Finally Finn Peters offers a vision of the future combining performance theatre and scientific experimentation to complete a truly out there season!

Our journey through traditional music this season takes in many fascinating destinations, from the ten countries which make up the membership of the Master Drummers of Africa, to the range of Scottish highlands and islands from which the members of Blazin’ Fiddles are drawn. Traditional song, whether English, middle Eastern or Portuguese, is a focus during the season with Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy, Natacha Atlas and Ana Moura. Meanwhile, Terry Riley remembers Pran Nath, and The Mellstock Band remind us of English Christmases past.

The Takács Quartet are recognised as one of the world’s great string quartets, their performances described by The Guardian as chamber-music playing of overwhelming intensity, insight and intelligence.

The concert opens with an exuberant piece by Haydn, the ‘father’ of the string quartet. Shostakovich’s Second Quartet was written in 1944 and reflects the composer’s wartime experiences. In contrast, Mendelssohn’s sunny Second Quartet, written when the composer was only 18, shows a youthful sense of optimism.

GRAMMY nominated jazz pianist Robert Glasper is as influenced by hip-hop artist Kanye West as he is by Thelonious Monk or Herbie Hancock, and has recorded or performed with the likes of Mos Def, Q-Tip, Erykah Badu, and Jay-Z, among others. With his musical roots firmly grounded in gospel and soul, his outstanding acoustic trio of piano, drums and bass breaks new ground, incorporating hip hop rhythms and explosive improvisation for a sound that is direct, inventive, and accessible.

BEETHOVEN’S SEPTET

Saturday 13 November – 8pm

Tuesday 16 November – 8pm Beethoven’s light-hearted Septet is the main work in tonight’s concert, the first of two visits to Turner Sims this season by members of the LMP. The work proved highly popular during Beethoven’s lifetime much to the composer’s disgust who felt that it overshadowed some of his more serious offerings. Nielsen’s work, written in 1914, takes the Septet’s instrumentation as a starting point and was described by the composer as a humorous trifle. Strauss’ work is most familiar in its orchestral guise but this chamber version captures the spirit of the larger work in just eight minutes.

BBC Radio 2

Take a group of the hottest contemporary fiddle players from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and you’ve got the award winning Blazin’ Fiddles on your hands. Like rare single malts, each member of the band draws the distinct flavour of music from their part of the highlands, coming together in a fiery blend that raises the roof and fully captures the excitement, passion and sensitivity of Scottish music. Fiddles and bows blaze away with guitar and piano for one of the most exciting and memorable fiddle ensembles ever to take the stage.

In association with the Fo’c’sle Folk Club

Sought after by the likes of Prince, Mos Def, Scroobius Pip and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, and with celebrity fans like George Clooney and Megan Fox, Christian Scott is one of the hottest jazz musicians around at the moment.

With echoes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, Christian’s dynamic composing and timeless trumpet sound flourishes with jazz, indie rock, neo-soul and hip-hop sensibilities.

…slyly reminiscent of fellow New Orleans alumnus Louis Armstrong.

A truly unique and utterly fascinating audiovisual theatrical experience as Finn Peters brings us Music Of The Mind, a project that uses state-of-the-art technology to translate a musician’s brainwaves directly into music – meaning you can actually hear what they’re thinking! With film specifically created for the project courtesy of VJ Yeast, this is music that falls somewhere between Kraftwerk and Sun Ra, with a compositional approach straight out of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and reminiscent of 60’s sci-fi funk and exotica.

At twenty-nine, American pianist Jonathan Biss has already proved himself an exceptional musician with a flourishing international reputation through both his concert performances and his awardwinning recordings for EMI. His Turner Sims recital opens with Janácek’s autobiographical work and closes with Schumann’s intensely personal work, the first movement of which is a lament for being separated from his future wife Clara. Beethoven’s monumental sonata, pitting man against nature, is one of the composer’s most fiery works, demanding of both performer and instrument.

Some 24 years since his 1986 debut album made the British Top 40, he remains at the forefront of the UK jazz scene, continually pushing at boundaries and reinterpreting the tradition. For his latest project the original Jazz Warrior has assembled a heavyweight musical line-up drawing influences from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe for an exuberant homage to the first great saxophone star Sidney Bechet. The resulting album and live shows have earned him some of the highest critical acclaim of his long and varied career.
