El cromatismo de Saariaho regresa a España con la OSG y Jennifer Koh

Cintia Borges Carreras, 18th January

Un atractivo programa fundado en los contrastes, con un discurso heterogéneo que entrecruza lenguajes folclóricos, electroacústicos y clásicos, donde la emotividad se reinventa en las melodías de Kaija Saariaho.

The Birds and the Bs: Bernstein in Boston

Kevin Wells, 6th October

Andris Nelsons makes no apologies for Shostakovich's Third Symphony, allowing it to blare, blaze, and bloviate as written.

Jennifer Koh and Vijay Iyer in a wintry Sun Valley

Kurt Gottschalk, 26th February

Violinist and programmer Jennifer Koh finds a warm home in a black box theater in the small town of Ketchum, Idaho.

*****

The concerto reconstructed: Detroit Symphony plays Sorey premiere

Annie Nikunen, 6th November

DSO plays Florence Price's Five Folksongs in Counterpoint and performs the world premiere of Tyshawn Sorey's For Marcos Balter for violin and orchestra with Jennifer Koh.

*****

NZSO's enthralling Salonen and Schubert

Simon Holden, 9th November

Edo de Waart and the NZSO thrill with the old warhorse that is Schubert's ninth as much as in an insightful and exciting rendition of Salonen's Violin Concerto.

Stunning performances of English repertoire

David Truslove, 15th January

This all-English programme artfully combined Butterworth, Elgar and Anna Clyne – three composers a century apart yet tied together by poetic association.
