Crossing Generations

Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 19:30
Queen Elizabeth Hall (London)
Kevin John Edusei (Conductor), Kinan Azmeh (Clarinet)
Kevin John Edusei presents Zappa, Martinů and a new clarinet concerto with phenomenal Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh. Frank Zappa wove psychedelic new sounds from the underbelly of 1960s pop culture – aiming straight for the sonic G-spot. Bohuslav Martinů – a Czech in exile – looked homeward, and crafted a lush, fantastic dream of a symphony as he travelled from New York to the boulevards of Paris. And the Sri Lankan-born Canadian composer Dinuk Wijeratne tells his own intensely personal tale of displacement and hope, as Kevin John Edusei conducts his new Clarinet Concerto with the artist for whom it was created – the phenomenal Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh. Please note venue.

Tan Dun’s Water Concerto

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 19:30
Queen Elizabeth Hall (London)
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.
