Violinist

Singer, composer and arranger Héloïse Werner deserves to be known as a force of nature, such is her power to transform and reimagine music from the past and bring it into harmonious relationship with the music of today. Her latest programme reaches back to O rosa bella, a gem from the mid-1400s attributed to John Dunstaple, and music by the 15th-century Franco-Flemish composer Josquin des Prez, and forward to the French soprano’s own work for voices and cellos.

Abel Selaocoe is a boundary-breaking South African cellist who’s redefining what classical music can be. This remarkable artist moves effortlessly between musical worlds, weaving together Western classical traditions with the rich musical heritage of Africa. He released his second album, Hymns of Bantu, this past spring, and at Caramoor Selaocoe will perform a program that includes New York premieres of new Caramoor co-commissions by Michel van der Aa, Ben Nobuto, and Selaocoe himself, as well as works by Colin Alexander and Kit Downes and excerpts from Bach cello suites. His passion for making classical music accessible to everyone shines through in every note. Prepare for a concert that will challenge your expectations and open your ears to new possibilities.

Héloïse Werner’s The Cuckoo’s Hour

The Glasshouse International Centre for Music

Pierre Boulez catapulted himself to the forefront of music pioneers in 1955 with his chamber cantata »Le marteau sans maître« (The Hammer Without a Master). Top young talents such as Ema Nikolovska and Sean Shibe, both Elbphilharmonie FAST LANE artists, juxtapose the Boulez with works by the next generation and the generation after that as part of the Hamburg International Music Festival with the motto »Future«: »12 Caprices« by James Dillon and »Bel Canto« by Cassandra Miller, which is dedicated to the opera diva Maria Callas.

St John’s Church, Waterloo

Sierra’s Avian Mirrors and Doolittle’s Field Guide bring us into the world of birdsong mimicry with a rich interplay between birds, while Bauckholt’s Doppelbelichtung presents photographically accurate transcriptions of bird calls with great intensity. Terranova’s Rainbow Dust in the Sky and Grime’s To see the summer sky take us into the evocative world of birds with msuic that is both ethereal and fierce.
