Get tuned in to the new
season
AUTUMN PREVIEWS
LONDON’S premiere classical music venues are gearing up to launch their autumn season.
The Wigmore Hall is centring this year on the Festival of Song and dozens of the world’s best singers are coming to the ensemble music hall to perform.
The first concert, next Friday, of the season features baritone Matthias Goerne who is joined by pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja to perform a series of songs by Schubert. Goerne, a regular at the Wigmore, is a Schubert specialist and performed an excellent interpretation of Schubert’s Winterreise with Alfred Brendel a few years ago.
On September 19 sopranos Barbara Bonney, Ida Falk Winland, mezzo-soprano Anna Grevelius, tenor Norman Renihardt and baritone Jacques Imbrailo, with pianist Malcolm Martineau, perform works by three generations of Mozarts, Wolfgang, Leopold and Franz.
And on September 20 a series of three concerts begins to celebrate the 80th birthday of the celebrated Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtag.
At St John’s Smith Square, on September 21, the Bampton Classical Opera company and the London Mozart Players are performing Mozart’s The Jewel Box – a work compiled of Mozart pieces that were intended for operas but which were never completed.
Both the Wigmore and St John’s Smith Square are also taking part in this year’s Open House Day on September 16.
Burgh House begins its Autumn series of concerts on September 8 with two sopranos, a tenor and pianist performing works by Verdi, Faure, Gounod and others.
