Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Greenwood

A carefully chosen programme of exciting, short pieces which all share parallel energetic explorations of musical patterns and pulses.

The Australian Chamber Orchestra brings music from Indie rock stars and the Polish composers who inspired them, with superb contributions from Guildhall students.

Sous la direction de son chef Marko Letonja, l'Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg a fêté dignement les retrouvailles avec son public via trois « Hymnes à la vie » de Greenwood, Mozart et Sibelius.

An inventive programme frames new music by a genre-defying composer and guitarist in a striking late-night concert.

Effervescent Haydn, elegant Mozart, enigmatic Greenwood and exhilarating Tchaikovsky from the ACO in Dublin.

It's been a bumper week of contemporary music at the Barbican, with Nico Muhly and the Britten Sinfonia, Bang on a Can, and Krzysztof Penderecki and Jonny Greenwood all taking the stage. The diversity of talents and styles on display can only be encouraging, and last night's offering was a fitting climax to a fascinating week.

There's classical music, and there's pop. You can throw as many violins into the bridge section as you like, and you can amplify the orchestra all you want as well. It's unfortunate, but a certain divide looks set to stay.
