Blake The Snowman Fantasia arranged for string orchestra
\nBlake Flute Concerto Op.493a
\nBlake Clarinet Concerto Op.329
\nBlake Serenade for Wind Octet Op.419<\/p>\n
This glorious concert sees a much anticipated reuniting of the Academy and the music of Howard Blake. This follows the release of \u2018The Barber of Neville\u2019 on Pentatone Classics last year. The album features the melodic and expressive Flute and Clarinet Concertos performed this evening by the Academy\u2019s own Principal Flautist Michael Cox and Principal Clarinettist James Burke. No tribute to Howard Blake, especially one at winter time, would be complete without a performance of the beloved score to The Snowman. This concert sees the very first performance of the score in a new arrangement for String Orchestra, commissioned from Howard Blake by Sir Neville Marriner who conducts this evening\u2019s concert.<\/p>\n
Booking now from St Martin in the Fields’ Box Office on 0207 766 1100 or online from their website.
\nDon’t forget that the Academy Chamber Ensemble are also playing their second concert of the 14-15 season soon! Tickets are selling fast so book now to avoid disappointment!<\/p>\n
‘Chamber Classics Unwrapped’
\nSaturday 13 December, 7.30pm<\/p>\n
Dvo\u0159\u00e1k String Sextet in A major Op. 48
\nSchubert String Quintet in C major D.956<\/p>\n
In their second appearance in this series, the Chamber Ensemble performs a pair of classics from the chamber music repertoire. The concert opens with Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s vigorous yet melodious String Sextet which the Chamber Ensemble has performed across the world. The Sextet is followed by Schubert\u2019s String Quintet, which unconventionally includes an additional cello rather than viola, creating a depth of tone in the lower register. Considered to be Schubert\u2019s greatest chamber work, it is no surprise to see it voted No.1 Chamber Classic by readers of BBC Music Magazine and Kings Place audiences.<\/p>\n
Booking now from the Kings Place Box Office on 020 7520 1490 or online from their website.<\/p>\n
We hope to see you at a concert soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
