National Youth Orchestraof Great Britain

John Wilson conductor

Adams Guide to Strange PlacesBritten Four Sea Interludes: Peter GrimesHolst The Planets

Can you imagine what an epic symphony orchestra made up of Britain’s most talented teenagers sounds like? Well this January, you can hear it in all its vibrant reality as the 165-strong National Youth Orchestra comes to perform in Leeds.

You’ll be transported far outside the concert hall: up into space for a musical exploration of the giants of our solar system in The Planets, deep among the brooding ocean waves off the Suffolk coast in Four Sea Interludes and right into your own imagination via Guide to Strange Places.

Come and be inspired by ‘the most uplifting orchestra in the world’ (The Times).

‘It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of natureand everlasting beauty of monotony’ Britten

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Brahms’ Hungarian Dances are comprised of 21 dance tunes, each lasting between one and four minutes. These were some of Brahms’ most popular works. Prokofiev dedicated his Suite No 1: Cinderella to Tchaikovsky. The eight movements each depict a different chapter of the story. In the introduction the two contrasting themes juxtapose Cinderella’s unhappiness with her hopeful, dreamy side. Listen out for the ugly sisters in the second movement, represented by the clarinets.Originally written as ballet music, La Valse was commissioned by Diaghilev who later failed to produce any choreography and rejected the score. At the beginning of the score, Ravel wrote: “Through whirling clouds, waltzing couples may be faintly distinguished. The clouds gradually scatter: one sees… an immense hall peopled with a whirling crowd... The light of the chandeliers bursts forth… Set in an imperial court, about 1855.”

Wed 9 January: 7.30pmBettakultchaAn evening of five minute improvised stories given by over a dozen people all accompanied by interesting slides, a musical interlude, comedy commentary and an atmosphere fizzing with fascination.Until you’ve experienced Bettakultcha for yourself you won’t know what a gem of entertainment this is!www.bettakultcha.comTickets: £7.50

BergenPhilharmonicOrchestra

Andrew Litton conductorChristian Ihle Hadland piano

Grieg Suite: Peer GyntBeethoven Piano Concerto No 3Prokofiev Suite: Romeo and Juliet

Originally written as incidental music to Ibsen’s 1867 play of the same name, Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite was not published until after his death in 1908 and has since been widely used in popular culture – from Duke Ellington’s jazz interpretation to featuring in The Simpsons, Father Ted and many other popular television shows and films. The most recognised section is the Morning Mood theme.

Beethoven was the soloist at the premiere of his Piano Concerto No 3, after which the page-turner said: I saw almost nothing but empty pages; at the most... a few Egyptian hieroglyphs wholly unintelligible to me were scribbled down to serve as clues for him; for he played nearly all the solo part from memory... he had not had time to set it all down on paper.

Prokofiev wrote the Romeo and Juliet Suite for the Kirov Ballet. He originally wanted to change the conclusion of the story to a happy one to allow for more dance, saying “living people can dance, the dying cannot” but his idea was rejected.

‘It was clear from the start that Prokofiev had a special gift for ballet music which placed him in the big league alongside Tchaikovsky, Ravel and Stravinsky, but it was a gift directed towards satire and social comment rather than romance’Frank Granville Barker

Chopin’s Piano Concerto No 2 was actually the first piano concerto he wrote, but the second to be published. Listen out for influences of Italian opera in the second movement. Chopin was inspired by his crush on a singer at the Warsaw Conservatory and was aged just twenty when he wrote this work. In the third movement we hear the influence of the Polish mazurka. Look out for the violins playing with the wood of the bow in the finale.Inspired by his love of nature and the countryside, Beethoven gave the five movements of his sixth symphony, nicknamed the ‘Pastoral’, very descriptive titles. Awakening of cheerful feelings upon arrival in the country, is the opening movement, Scene at the brook is the second, with strings representing rippling water and woodwind representing birdsong. The third movement, Happy gathering of country folk, takes the form of a joyful dance, followed by the dramatic Thunderstorm; Storm and finally, Shepherds’ song; cheerful and thankful feelings after the storm.

The Leeds Chinese Community Association is once again hosting a Chinese New Year Festival for the 2013 arrival of the ‘Year of the Snake’. The occasion promises to deliver a much wider Chinese experience than at previous events, as in addition to the usual theatre performances of Chinese Dancing, music and Tai Chi, there will also be trade stands offering a variety of Chinese food, crafts and professional face painting.Many thanks in advance to all those who have already shown support for the event and we look forward to seeing them and everyone else on the day.

Bach’s great B Minor Mass is like a vast gothic cathedral in music: displaying towering architecture and yet intimate moments of precise detail; addressing the infinitely mysterious while deploying captivating simplicity. It is an awe inspiring work that gladdens both the heart and the mind. Pablo Casals said: ‘to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral, to make divine things human and human things divine: such is Bach’.Concert promoted by Leeds Festival Chorus: www.leedsfestivalchorus.co.ukThis concert is not part of the Leeds InternationalSubscription Season.

BeethovenViolin ConcertoWebernPassacagliaBrahmsSymphony No 4

Franz Clement, soloist at the premiere of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, was shown the music for the first time just before the performance.As such, it was said that he was so unprepared that between the first two movements, he played one of his own compositions using just one string and holding the violin upside down! Listen out for the four-beat theme of the first movement, which begins on percussion and lasts over twenty minutes.Webern wrote his Passacaglia (a Spanish or Italian dance originating in the 17th century) in 1908 at the end of his course in composition, taught by Schoenberg. He commented that this and all subsequent works he wrote were influenced by the death of his mother. The passacaglia form also features in the fourth movement of Brahms’ Symphony No 4. Before the premiere, Brahms performed in a version for two pianos. It is said that after this event, a critic commented on hearing the first movement “…I had the feeling that I was being given a beating by two incredibly intelligent people.”

Jacek Kaspszyk conductorMikhail Rudy piano

Bernstein Overture: CandidePenderecki ChaconneBeethoven Piano Concerto No 4Schubert Symphony No 9 (The Great)

The overture from Bernstein’s Candide is a very popular orchestral work, first performed as a concert piece in 1957, a year after the complete operetta was composed. Listen out for tunes from the show’s songs The Best of All Possible Worlds, Battle Music, Oh, Happy We, and Glitter and Be Gay.Schubert wrote his ninth symphony in 1839, but after his death the score was lost and not discovered until ten years later when Schumann found it. Although the work was written for the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of Friends of Music), they rejected it for being too challenging. Indeed it was the longest and most complex symphony Schubert wrote, utilising lots of brass. Listen out for the horn in the slow movement which Schumann described as “calling as though from another sphere. Everything else is hushed, as though listening to some heavenly visitant hovering around the orchestra.”

Mozart wrote his Symphony No 38 at the same time as the Marriage of Figaro was being performed in Prague. He had a strong fanbase in the city and wrote this symphony for its people. Shortly after his death, a local paper wrote “Mozart seems to have written for the people of Bohemia, his music is understood nowhere better than in Prague.”Mahler wrote a collection of songs called Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth’s Magic Horn) and they influenced his first four symphonies. Themes from the song Das himmlische Leben, (The Heavenly Life) are hinted at throughout the first three movements of Symphony No 4 with the whole song, portraying a child’s idea of heaven, included in the last movement. Listen out for sleigh bells in the first movement, and in the second movement, a solo violin depicts the skeletal ‘Friend Henry’, the German personification of death.

Come and enjoy an afternoon of American classics with ensembles from Leeds University Union Music Society.Gershwin’s compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, with his most popular songs being widely known. He contributed a huge amount of music to the American repertoire including jazz standards, television and film scores, musical shows and orchestral pieces. An American in Paris is one of Gershwin’s best-known compositions depicting the hustle and bustle of Parisian life and a nostalgic American away from home during his visit to Paris in the 1920s. This paired with the energetic Cuban Overture following Gershwin on his visit to Havana, will kick start the afternoon’s concert.LUUMS will be joined by the LUU Big Band to present a truly irresistible range of timeless songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr et al, including Days of Wine and Roses, Try a Little Tenderness, New York, New York, Angel Eyes, For All We Know, Autumn in New York, and Bewitched.

Haydn was a devout Catholic and wrote the words ‘Praise to God’ at the end of every composition he wrote. He was inspired to write The Creation upon visiting London and hearing some of Handel’s oratorios. The text was taken from Genesis, the books of Psalms and Paradise Lost, translated into German, however, this evening it will be sung in English. The archangels Gabriel (soprano), Uriel (tenor) and Raphael (bass) narrate the story. Part One depicts the creation of light, water, weather and plants, Part Two celebrates the birth of sea life, animals and man, and in Part Three the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This is widely considered to be Haydn’s greatest masterpiece. He spent eighteen months composing the work and after conducting the premiere he collapsed with exhaustion!

Micky Flanagan’s Back in the Game tour follows on from the huge critical and commercial success of last year’s Out Out tour where over 200,000 tickets were sold and all 150 dates a sell-out.The DVD – Micky Flanagan Live: The Out Out Tour – has been the number one selling stand-up DVD in 2012 with his show stealing performances on the small screen earning him a prestigious British Comedy Award nomination and The Sun’s Comedian of the Year Award.Micky has appeared on The Royal Variety Performance, Mock The Week, Have I GotNews For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats – amongst others – cementing his reputation as one ofthe superstars of British stand-up.

Over the decades, Clannad have made music that entwines the traditional and the modern, the past and the future, with stunningly beautiful results. With their haunting songs, mesmerizing vocals, and captivating sound the group has sold over fifteen million records worldwide.The band first came to prominence in the UK in late 1982 when, after the hard hitting drama Harry’s Game was aired, their evocative theme song was propelled into the high reaches of the UK singles chart. Comprised of siblings Moya, Ciaran and Pol Brennan, along with their twin uncles Noel and Padraig Duggan, the band began life performing in the family owned tavern in a remote part of North West Ireland.

Sat 16 March: 7.30pm

40th Anniversary TourThe City of Leeds Youth Orchestra’s performances in recent years are one of the great success stories of music making in the region. The orchestra now numbers over 100 young musicians and this programme is perfect to show off these wonderful young talents. African Sunrise: Manhattan Rave was commissioned by the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland for Evelyn Glennie and is a work of great beauty and stunning virtuosity; the soloist Jake Brown has been a member of CLYO for five years and is also a member of the National Youth Orchestra. Shostakovich was one of the greatest film music composers of his time and his 12th Symphony demonstrates this brilliantly in a work that conjures the atmospheres and events of the October 1917 Revolution.

Bliss Kenilworth SuiteHaydn Trumpet Concerto in E flatMozart Coronation Mass in C K317

Following on from the ambitious performance of music from the Ellington Sacred Concerts in York Minster in 2012, the School Choir and Choral Society of St Peter’s School, York are performing for the first time in Leeds Town Hall. The Concert Band will begin the performance with a specially created arrangement of the Kenilworth Suite by Sir Arthur Bliss, directed by Christopher Blood. The orchestra will then perform Haydn’s famous Trumpet Concerto with soloist Nicholas McLeish, Principal Trumpet of City of Leeds Youth Orchestra, directed by Keith Wright.Mozart’s dramatic Coronation Mass will be performed in the second half by the combined choirs and orchestra, featuring soloists in the sixth form at the school.

Elgar’s Cello Concerto was his last major composition and made a distinct departure from his previous works, being more introspective and contemplating themes of death and mortality. Moved by the events of the First World War, Elgar began writing the opening melody whilst recovering in hospital from tonsillitis in 1919. Over 40 years later it became the work which launched Jacqueline du Pre’s career when she made a recording in 1965.Sibelius paints a picture of the Finnish landscape with his second symphony. He was considered a national hero as he continued to assert his identity as a Finnish composer, although the second movement of this work does appear to show Russian influences with a rousing theme which reappears in the finale.

‘My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require’ Elgar

Although never performed during his lifetime, Night on a Bare Mountain was introduced to a wide audience courtesy of Walt Disney’s 1940 animated classic Fantasia which used the Stokowski arrangement of the piece. This evening’s arrangement, the ‘fantasy for orchestra’, was produced after Mussorgsky’s death in 1881 by his friend Rimsky-Korsakov and has become a concert favourite.Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony begins with a funeral-style theme, which, by the fourth movement, has transformed into a more optimistic march. The most famous performance of this work was in 1941, when, during the Siege of Leningrad, the orchestra continued to play as bombs were heard dropping in the distance. It became a popular piece from then on, used by the choreographer Massine for a ballet, and Glenn Miller set lyrics to the second movement for his song, Moon Love.

Written shortly before Mozart died and not performed until after his death, much debate surrounds the origins of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto. Only 199 bars were ever proven to have been written by him. He wrote for his friend Anton Stadler who was particularly proficient in the lower registers of the clarinet, writing various low passages which demanded a special extended version of the instrument, invented by Stadler. Widely considered to be the finest piece written for clarinet, this concerto recently featured in the 2010 Colin Firth film, The King’s Speech.Berlioz’s first ‘Fantastic’ symphony was subtitled An Episode in the Life of an Artist, in Five Parts. It tells the story of a gifted artist who tries to commit suicide because he is haunted by his love for a woman. This ‘haunting’ takes the form of a melody that reappears throughout the work in different forms. The five movements are entitled Daydreams – Passions, A ball, Scene in the Country, March to the Scaffold and Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath.

Having suffered from depression and writer’s block for around two years, Rachmaninov wrote his Piano Concerto No 2 to mark the end of this period of his life, dedicating it to his doctor who used hypnotherapy to improve his mental health and self-confidence. The music features heavily in the 1945 film Brief Encounter and Clint Eastwood’s 2010 film Hereafter.Of his Pathétique (‘Passionate’) Symphony, Tchaikovsky said “I give you my word of honour that never in my life have I been so contented, so proud, so happy in the knowledge that I have written a good piece.” However, nine days after the premiere he committed suicide. The work’s main theme became known as ‘symphony as suicide note’, being particularly melancholic in the first and last movements. Listen out for the extreme dynamics in the first movement, which were previously unheard of, the waltz of the second movement, and the march of the third movement. Inspired by Henry A Wallace’s 1942 speech on

the ‘Century of the Common Man’, Copland wrote his Fanfare for Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. During World War 1 Goossens asked British composers to write fanfares to be performed before every concert, and now he wanted to

repeat the project with American composers during the Second World War. Copland said“[i]t is my idea to make these fanfares stirring and significant contributions to the war effort...”Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story bring exciting jazz rhythms and Latin-inspired melodies. After composing the soundtrack for the hit musical, he arranged this suite of orchestral music from the music in nine parts, including Mambo, Cha-Cha and Somewhere.Adams based the three movements of Harmonium, a piece for chorus and orchestra, on poetry: Negative Love by John Donne, and Because I could not stop for Death and Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson, saying “…John Donne examines the qualities of various forms of love… from the carnal to the divine… The two Dickinson poems show the polar opposites of her poetic voice…”
