Tan Dun’s Water Concerto

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 19:30
Eva Ollikainen (Conductor), Colin Currie (Percussion)
Colin Currie takes on Tan Dun’s extraordinary, culture-crossing Water Concerto.Life finds a way, and even under Soviet repression, composers were testing boundaries and telling forbidden truths. Arvo Pärt drew on the music of the past to liberate explosive new creative forces. Lutosławski reached for all the colours of a full symphony orchestra, and launched glittering sonic fireworks into grey Cold War skies. Eva Ollikainen rediscovers two modern classics, and Colin Currie – in the words of one critic, ‘surely the world’s finest and most daring percussionist’ – explores new ways of listening, with the extraordinary, culture-crossing Water Concerto by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon composer Tan Dun.Please note venue.Join us for a post-concert event with Colin Currie in the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Tickets are £10 or free to Tan Dun’s Water Concerto ticket-holders.

Ollikainen & Stoyanova

Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 20:00
Eva Ollikainen (Conductor), Krassimira Stoyanova (Soprano), Yajie Zhang (Mezzo-Soprano), Gregory Kunde (Tenor), Kostas Smoriginas (Bass-Bariton), Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Julia Selina Blank (Chorus Master), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
»The omnipotent corruptor of taste in Italy.« »Immaturity, tastelessness, and ugliness.« Quite some impudence, what Verdi heard from Wagner conductor Hans von Bülow in 1874. Another critic found: »After all, isn’t the Italian entitled to ask whether he is allowed to speak Italian with God?« And for Verdi, this is how speaking with God about death in Italian goes: happy for some theatrics, but the Mass should by no means sound »like an opera«. Whether he succeeded—everyone will have to judge for themselves.
