Concert lesson

Scuola elementare di Vaglia

“This wind concert is a unique collaboration between our RPO and ESM performers, in conjunction with Eastman’s Harmonie Ensemble which is directed by Mark Scatterday. Showcasing a wide variety of styles, this concert offers the rare opportunity to hear a double wind octet in the intimacy of a chamber performance.”

Wind Power

The Hochstein School

Be inspired, transported and uplifted in this, a journey through no less than 600 years of music celebrating Christmas. From Pachelbel’s beloved Canon, heard afresh on our period instruments, through to the rich, melting harmonies of Tchaikovsky and John Taverner’s spare, haunting, The Lamb, plus a brand new piece by Roderick Williams, written especially for the occasion. Music that will resonate with you for long after the concert, and a perfect start to the Holiday season.

SPCO Artistic Partner Richard Egarr kicks off our 65th season with a pair of works that explore the sonic effects created by placing groups of musicians throughout the hall. A charming concerto by Antonio Vivaldi featuring violin and winds leads into the program's titular work, which sees SPCO musicians united on stage at the Ordway. Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 was written at an important turning point for the young composer as he started to push his limits amidst worsening health and the beginning of his hearing loss — a year prior to the completion of his more well-known Eroica.

Travel back in time. Markets bustle in Paris. Church bells ring out across the Vatican.

A Renaissance Roadtrip

Smith Square Hall

il Pomo d’Oro turns to the solemn splendour of two works written for the Basilica of St Mark’s in Venice. It begins with Giovanni Gabrieli’s setting of the penitential 51st Psalm, with its close-knit web of polyphony for six voices, before entering the sonorous soundworld of Francesco Cavalli’s Missa pro Defunctis, most likely written in the early 1670s for his own funeral. His great Requiem Mass for two choirs of four voices invites deep contemplation of the end of earthly life and the prospect of eternal salvation.

il Pomo d’Oro Choir

Wigmore Hall

A Venetian Christmas resounds in il Pomo d’Oro’s unmissable seasonal celebration, crammed with songs of praise and exquisite choral prayers written for or inspired by St Mark’s in Venice. Its majestic programme traces the lineage of composers who studied there with the Basilica’s organist, Giovanni Gabrieli, Alessandro Grandi and Heinrich Schütz among them, and the direct influence of its greatest musician of all, Claudio Monteverdi, over Giovanni Rovetta and Francesco Cavalli.
