Composer

The Grammy Award-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet is one of the most multifaceted groups in any genre, comprised of four uniquely accomplished musicians bringing a new energy to the concert stage. Formed in 1980 and consistently playing to sold-out houses worldwide, the quartet performs inventive, critically acclaimed transcriptions of concert masterworks that provide a fresh look at the music of the past, while their interpretations of works from the contemporary and world-music realms continually break new ground. The quartet’s diverse discography includes the 2005 Grammy-winning Guitar Heroes, the 2004 Grammy-nominated LAGQ-Latin, and their most recent album from 2022, Opalescent. In addition to solo programs, the LAGQ has toured collaborative works with choirs, orchestras, vocalists, and dancers. Highlights include their program Don Quixote, narrated by actor Philip Proctor (featured during the 2009-10 season of the Segovia Classical Guitar Series), and Shingo Fujii’s work SHIKI: Seasons of Japan, featuring a guitar orchestra. In 2021, the quartet received the Artistic Achievement Award from the Guitar Foundation of America.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's monumental cantata trilogy, The Song of Hiawatha (1899), became a sensation in the early 20th century, regularly selling out the Royal Albert Hall. Inspired by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem about an Ojibwe warrior, the now rarely performed piece is one of Coleridge-Taylor's greatest achievements.

As a musician in the "Young Wild Ones" series at the Dortmund Concert Hall, he presents two masterpieces of the piano trio repertoire together with cellist Minjoung Kim and pianist Zhu Wang.

Jeffrey Biegel returns to the ESO with a new piano concerto by Peter Boyer, Rhapsody in Red, White and Blue. Commissioned by the Rhapsody National Initiative, a consortium of orchestras, including the ESO, this will be the Illinois premiere. It is inspired by the anniversary of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Mr. Biegel and the ESO will perform both pieces. Rounding out this concert is Gershwin’s short piece called “Promenade, (Walking the Dog)” written for the movie Shall We Dance, Leonard Bernstein’s “Suite” from the film score for On the Waterfront, and Samuel-Coleridge Taylor’s Petite Suite de Concert. The program will be hosted by WFMT’s LaRob K. Rafael.

As the MSO celebrates 100 years this season, it seemed only fitting to bring some of my MSO colleagues with me on stage to showcase their talent and our unique pairing. While the organ can be quite a loud instrument, it can also be used in a softer and more subtle way. With works like Handel’s G minor Organ Concerto and movements from Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Coleridge-Taylor’s Nonet, this program will demonstrate the versatility and more intimate side of our instrument. I’m also excited that the audience will get a chance to hear many of the musicians they hear in the orchestra perform some works as soloists with the organ. So sit back, relax, and let this incredible music fill you with joy and peace!

What happens when the three composers York Bowen, Benjamin Britten, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor are all featured in one concert? That’s right: a distinctly British program extending from late Romanticism to Modernism. Bowen, who often composed for the horn, creates a rather unusual combination in his Quintet, in which the horn, with its elegiac tone, is supported by four string instruments. In Coleridge-Taylor’s work, the clarinet engages in a subtle, witty dialogue with the string instruments. And Britten made arguably the most significant British contributions to the string quartet genre; nevertheless, his First String Quartet is rarely heard nowadays – making it a notable work on this evening’s programme.

What the Czech composer Dvořák did for the music of his homeland, the British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor achieved for the music of other peoples, including his own African ancestors: He reconciled it with the Romantic mainstream. His cantata "Hiawatha's Wedding-feast" achieved cult status in England; the unpretentious, endearing Christmas Overture incorporates popular songs such as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Good King Wenceslas."

“Lemminkaïnen, reckless hero, in his veins the blood of ages…” In the Finnish legends of the Kalevala, Lemminkaïnen was a warrior like no other: loving, hunting and vanquishing death itself. Sibelius knew all those ancient tales, and he retells them in music as vivid as any film score – the climax to a whole evening of fantastic tales from Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

In our first concert, “Connection,” we start with Dvořák, and see his mastery of “romantic lyricism and bohemian melodies.” His Serenade for Strings captures the joy of his recent marriage which is then paired with Barber’s Adagio. Barber, with one melodic line, captures the depth of human sorrow while also embracing the human quality of hope in all things. And finally, with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, we bridge the transatlantic voices of the early 20th century. “ Connection” tells a story where music heals us, inspires us, and connects us.

Of course, this price does not reflect the real cost of putting on an event like this which includes so many talented artists who need to be paid fairly for their work. If you are able to purchase a higher-priced ticket, we would encourage you to do so. These tickets better reflect the value of the artistic contributions being made and will support the ongoing financial stability of our work.

London Mozart Players: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor at 150

Fairfield Halls

 Pianist and composer George Walker wrote the “Lyric for Strings” while a graduate student at the Curtis Institute of Music. Originally written as        the second movement of a string quartet, it was later broadcast on radio in a string orchestra version titled “Lament.” Walker dedicated the work        as an elegy “To my grandmother.” Walker creates an endless line of melody, sincerity, and beauty in a short work that conveys his deep        understanding of music in a manner that comes directly from the heart.

        Little is known of the performance history of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s tone poem, “Touissaint L’Ouverture” beyond the premier on October         26th, at London’s Queen's Hall. Lost to history, the handwritten and fragmented score was transcribed by our own principal timpanist, Marty        Jenkins for this performance. The work was only recently revived and this MVSO performance is among the very first to be heard worldwide.        Written as an homage to the Haitian general of the same name who fought for independence and the end of slavery in Haiti, the work        demonstrates the richly romantic and soaring melodies that Coleridge-Taylor is known for.

Then it’s an all-star line-up for one of the most renowned works for multiple soloists by Beethoven, as Tai Murray, Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Isata Kanneh-Mason join the orchestra to play Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. The three musicians, all alumni of the orchestra, come together for the first time, bringing their extraordinary talent to this mighty piece.

The soundscapes of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra's chamber concerts are as diverse as the personalities of the musicians who perform in them. The demands of the orchestra pit are often determined by the scale and diversity of voices. Chamber music, on the other hand, reduces this dimension to smaller ensembles and allows for intimate musical interaction. As in a dialogue, diverse opinions collide, new ideas emerge and develop during performance, thus opening up a creative space for spontaneous development.

A portrait of life – and death – in Stalin’s Russia, it’s a fierce act of musical testimony. Bearing witness is also central to Pulitzer-winner George Walker’s Sinfonia No. 5, a work ‘suffused with anger’, raging against the 2015 Charleston church massacre.
