<h1>The Two Haydns and Pleyel</h1>
<p>3:15pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Soloists of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) return to Kings Place with two chamber concerts showcasing one of the geniuses of the classical era, Haydn, alongside the lesser known Pleyel and Danzi.</p>
<p>This programme begins with Joseph Haydn’s Trio in C, in 1766 and released in an edition of 5 Eisenstädter trios.</p>
<p>They follow this with a duo from Haydn’s younger brother, Michael, whom Mozart held in high regard. Like his brothe's music, this string duo is well crafted, elegant and charming. They finish with a string quartet by Austrian-born French composer, piano builder and music publisher, Ignace Pleyel who was taught as a young student by Joseph Haydn. You can certainly hear his teacher’s influence in Pleyel’s work.</p>

<h1>Haydn for the Baryton</h1>
<p>4:30pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, Haydn’s employer, had a deep fondness for the baryton and we showcase this fascinating instrument in our second concert of the evening.  A relative of the viola d’amore, this little-known instrument had extra strings behind the neck, which could add special effects when plucked. Between 1765-1778, Haydn composed in excess of 170 baryton pieces incorporating the instrument at the express request of his patron.</p>
<p>The two divertimenti played tonight, composed in 1769, are shining examples of the rich timbres that the instrument could provide, and present a significant contrast in their intimacy to Haydn’s later grand symphonies.</p>
<p>Sandwiched between these lighthearted pieces is a string duo by Danzi, a German cellist, born in 1763, who was mentor to the young Carl Maria von Weber, and a fellow Kapellmeister to the main court in Munich. This progressive duet features an expansive opening movement and a dramatic nature that goes beyond the classical conventions of the time.</p>

<h1>Holt, Lutoslawski and Bartok</h1>
<p>3:30pm / Hall Two</p>
<p>The London Sinfonietta is one of the world’s leading contemporary music ensembles. The ensemble aims to put new music at the heart of contemporary culture, through collaborations with choreographers, video and electronica artists, and jazz and folk musicians.</p>
<p>This concert combines a 20th century chamber music classic along with other contrasting and complementary chamber pieces. Bartók’s <i>Contrasts</i> was written in 1938, commissioned by jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman and incorporates a number of Hungarian and Rumanian folk melodies. </p>
<p>Lutoslawski’s <i>Dance Preludes</i> for clarinet and piano is also based on folk melodies, this time from his native Poland. London-based composer Simon Holt’s <i>Brief Candles</i> is an evocative set of miniatures for clarinet. The concert will be introduced by the players, who will demonstrate how these contemporary classics work.</p>

<h1>Stravinsky and Knussen</h1>
<p>4:45pm / Hall Two</p>
<p>Igor Stravinsky’s <i>Soldier’s Tale</i> (1918) dates from his early ‘Russian’ phase after the composer had made a huge impact with <i>Petrushka</i> and <i>The Rite of Spring</i>. The original piece is a musical, narrative and dance composition which tells the story of a solider making a deal with the devil.  This arrangement for three instruments was made by Stravinsky in 1919, and includes five numbers from the longer original for seven players.</p>
<p>His Three Pieces for Solo Clarinet date from the same time, and are dedicated to Werner Reinhart, a supporter and patron of Stravinsky’s and a fine amateur clarinettist. Oliver Knussen’s Secret Psalm was written as a memorial piece to Michael Vyner, the artistic director of the London Sinfonietta until 1989. The concert will be introduced by the players, who will demonstrate how these contemporary classics work.</p>

<h1>Fonts and Dogs (Together at Last)</h1>
<p>5:00pm / St Pancras Room</p>
<p>Six months after Simon Garfield completed Just My Type, his bestselling book about the history and meaning of fonts, he realised a curious thing: so many of the stories he had written contained dogs. </p>
<p>There was Microsoft Bob, the mongrel hero of Comic Sans. There was the lazy dog jumped over by the quick brown fox. There was the hapless dog that caught the attention of Eric Gill. And of course there was the hound in Baskerville. </p>
<p>But now, in this richly illustrated talk, they and many other faithful friends get the full attention they deserve, and you may never look at your pull-down menu in quite the same way again.</p>
<p>The Notes and Letters festival asks 'Words & music, can they be friends?' The series combines the wit and wisdom of poets, writers, musicians, translators, historians and children’s authors. The week long celebration returns to Kings Place in the Autumn.</p>

<h1>Haydn: Late Flowering</h1>
<p>6:00pm / Hall One</p>
<p>The Chilingirian Quartet explore Haydn's link with the London audience in the 1790's. There was such enthusiasm for his music during his first visit in 1791-2 that Haydn ran out of pieces to perform and went back home to Vienna with a firm invitation to return as soon as possible with a new portfolio of chamber works and symphonies.</p>
<p>To satisfy the demands of the impresario Salomon, Haydn composed a set of six Quartets, published in two sets as his Op. 71 and 74. Much is made of the public nature of these concerts, but in fact the venue was only slightly larger than Kings Place’s Hall One! </p>

<h1>Haydn and Enescu: Late Flowering</h1>
<p>7:15pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Haydn had spent half his life holed up in the Eszterházy household creating a revolutionary body of enduring masterpieces. In his late 50s, he finally returned to Vienna, now Europe’s most famous composer. London audiences took him to their hearts when he visited in 1791, and he returned with a collection of extraordinary quartets designed to break out of the chamber and into the concert hall.</p>
<p>The Chillingirian Quartet combine one of these quartets, the magnificent Quartet in D, Op. 71 No. 2, with a work from end of George Enescu’s life, in 1951, when his music became governed by a spirit of purity and restraint.</p>
<p>Enescu’s second string quartet began in the 1920s and was finally completed in 1951. It contains some of his most intimately expressive music, an endlessly unfolding series of melodies and moods created from fragments of the same musical material. The beautiful slow movement, for example, which follows from the first without break, is a meditation on the work’s opening theme.</p>

<p>We’re thrilled to welcome back comedian Ardal O’Hanlon to Kings Place Festival. After last-year’s sell-out performance the star of Father Ted and My Hero is returning with more of his critically acclaimed, award-winning stand-up.</p>
<p>Charming, quirky and self-effacing, Ardal has toured to sell out audiences internationally and this is a rare opportunity to see one of the most in-demand stand-ups working in such intimate surroundings.</p>
<p>Ardal’s TV credits include guest starring roles in Skins and Doctor Who, and his debut novel The Talk of the Town remained in the bestseller charts for more than 6 months.</p>
<p>The regular home of comedy at Kings Place is Hall Two, but Ardal has proved so spectacularly popular we’ve moved him into the auspicious surroundings of Hall One for one night only.</p>

<p>A trip with a difference!

We take a maximum of twelve passengers, and crew members are always on hand to answer any questions.</p>
<p>Tarporley was built in 1937 for the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company, later became one of Britains first community narrow boats, and now has a permanent mooring at Kings Place.

<h1>Debussy at 150: Pour Le Piano</h1>
<p>12:30 / Hall One</p>
<p>Debussy’s early work, Pour le piano, with its neo-Baroque leanings and Rococo decorousness, harks back to the flamboyant and virtuosic Italian concerto of JS Bach. Separating these sparkling masterworks are two atmospheric Nocturnes by the great Romantic poet and keyboard colourist, Frederic Chopin, whose evocative studies in the form were surely an inspiration to Debussy.</p>
<p>Leon McCawley is firmly established as one of Britain’s finest pianists, praised for the purity of his lyrical, heartfelt performances. Championing core classical repertoire together with the unknown, McCawley’s CD releases have been impressing critics far and wide.</p>

<h1>Debussy at 150: Bells Through the Leaves</h1>
<p>1:45pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Debussy’s beguiling depiction Cloches à travers les feuilles (Bells through the leaves) is echoed by two earlier bell-inspired works of Liszt and Rachmaninov, the first an intense evocation, the second a thunderous, chiming étude.</p>
<p>To complete the concert, Schumann’s celebratory and inventive Carnival, a collection of short pieces representing masked revellers in which Schumann gives musical expression to himself, his friends and colleagues, and characters from Commedia dell’arte – a work full of fantasy and vivid imagination.</p>

<h1>Duke Ellington's The Queen's Suit</h1>
<p>12:45pm / Hall Two</p>
<p>In 1958 Duke Ellington was presented to Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at a private reception to mark the bicentenary of Leeds Festival. So inspired was Ellington by this meeting that he promised to compose a suite in honour of The Queen. </p>
<p>The Queen’s Suite, one of Ellington’s greatest and most beautiful works, was shrouded in mystery with the composer insisting only one recording be pressed and handed directly to the Royal household. The piece remained hidden from the public until after Ellington’s death.</p>
<p>To mark and celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, Gary Crosby’s oustanding Tomorrow’s Warriors Youth Jazz Orchestra perform The Queen’s Suite in its entirety, recreated by their musical director, Peter Edwards - one of the most talented young artists of his generation.</p>
<p>Tomorrow's Warriors is rapidly building a reputation as the hippest young jazz collective in the country and has long been acclaimed for producing exciting new talent. These young musicians - all aged between 15 and 19 - have been honing their skills for over five years, creating a unique vibe and a shared fresh approach to jazz and contemporary music.</p>

Triumvirate teams Denys with double bassist Larry Bartley and drummer Moses Boyd as they take quality songs of the recent past and reinterpret them in trio format to ‘present familiar material in an unfamiliar way'.</p>
<p>The arrangements are fluid improvised pieces that retain their essence and familiarity. Triumvirate explores the hidden corners of compositions ranging from Gnarls Barkley's Crazy to D'Angelo's Brown Sugar. An unexpected source of inspiration for Denys Baptiste perhaps, but one that he hopes will open audiences' ears to new and interesting music.</p>

<h1>Inner Chordence</h1>

The former members are remaining tight lipped, which is ironic given the word on the street is that this was due to a lip syncing scandal whilst supporting Justin Bieber's Japanese tour "Hair That Tweets". After recovering from the tabloid fuelled controversy, the members decided on a bold new approach; no autotune in live performances and no instruments.</p>

<p>Lisa, Saffy, Jacqui, Reuben, Morten and James make up the current international line-up, representing Scandinavia, Australasia and England (including even Cornwall.) When they're not doing motivational speaking gigs or sharing their wisdom of pop-stardom-gone-wrong with juvenile delinquents, they can be found strutting their stuff at live music venues around London.</p>

<p>Think of bluegrass and chances are The Beverley Hillbillies and Duelling Banjos come to mind. But bluegrass is more - so much more. It’s simple in structure, yet it has given us some of the most talented musicians on the planet. It inspired no less than the king himself, Elvis Presley, though the Slippery Hill Boys's version of 'Blue Moon of Kentucky' is somewhat faster.</p>

<p>Their music takes in lightning-fast classics, soulful harmonies and gospel tunes. There’s quite a bit of swapping around of instruments - it's rare to have one highly-talented banjo player in a band, let alone two, one of whom doubles as a fine flatpicker. Mandolin and bass complete the line up, with the occasional bit of penny whistle. Magical.</p>

<h1>The Art of Transciption: Goldberg Variations</h1>
<p>6:00pm / Hall One</p>
<p>When Dmitry Sitkovetsky heard Glenn Gould’s last recording of the Goldberg Variations, it was one of the most powerful musical experiences of his life and he became fascinated with Gould as a musician and with the piece itself. Sitkovetsky decided to make a transcription of the work – just as an experiment.</p>

<p>After all, Gould had commented that Bach’s music was readily transcribable from one instrument to another; it was really what one could call ‘absolute’ music, transcending instrumentation. Not only did Sitkovetsky go on to transcribe it successfully for string trio, but also made a version for string orchestra and recorded the work in both forms. They remain extremely popular and are regularly programmed.</p>

<p>His work on the Goldbergs led to a lifetime fascination with the process of musical metamorphosis and Sitkovetsky has since made many more transcriptions. In this lecture Mr. Sitkovetsky will discuss the thoughts and processes behind his art of transcription.</p>

<h1>The Art of Transcription: A Soldier's Tale</h1>
<p>7:15pm / Hall One</p>

<p>In 1918, Igor Strainvsky wrote A Soldier’s Tale, a piece of musical theatre designed ‘to be read, played and danced’. It was arranged for a small ensemble to compensate for the lack of players during World War I, when so many were enlisted in the armed services. It tells a parable of a solider who trades his fiddle to the devil in exchange for a book that predicts the future of the economy.</p>

<p>Dmitry Sitkovetsky has played this piece many times throughout his life but felt that it could be revisited and reworked into a different form. He decided to expand the music by transcribing and incorporating other contemporary works by Stravinsky as well as recreating the text for a vibrant current feel. In this lecture Dmitry Sitkovetsky will discuss this work-in-progress and illustrate his thoughts behind this intriguing composition.</p>

<h1>Maria Camahort & Friends</h1>

<p>Spanish traditional music has always been an important source of inspiration for classical composers. It rose to prominence at the end of the 19th century, when Spanish composers such as Falla, Mompou, or Granados drew on the stories and flavour of their traditional music in new compositions, the guitar itself being one of the main influences.</p>

<p>8:00pm / Gallery Level (-1)</p>
<p>Taking its name from the Blessed Virgin Mary, a popular focus of religious devotion in the sacred music of all ages, The Marian Consort was formed at Oxford University in 2007 to explore the repertory of the Renaissance and Baroque, combining academic insight with the highest levels of performance practice.</p>

<p>Since then, this ‘astounding’ (The Herald) ensemble has has been featured on BBC Radio 3’s The Early Music Show and In Tune, was a finalist in the 2009 York Early Music Festival International Young Artists’ Competition, and is a current ‘Young Artist’ of The Brighton Early Music Festival. </p>

<p>The group, directed by Rory McCleery, draws its members from amongst the very best young singers on the early music scene today. The group’s ‘auspicious’ debut disc invited praise from reviewers for its ‘fluent performances’ and ‘flawlessly executed programme’, and was singled out by Andrew McGregor on Radio 3’s CD Review for its 'attractive and arresting sound'.</p>

<h1>Romantic Sextets: Strauss and Dvorak</h1>
<p>8:45pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Strauss’s ‘conversation piece’ for Sextet is taken from his final opera, the one-act <i>Capriccio</i>. The libretto, by the conductor Clemens Krauss, addresses the age-old battle for operatic supremacy between music and words, personified by a poet and a composer who are vying for the affections of their aristocratic patron, the Countess.</p>

<p>At the beginning, music is supreme: a string sextet is heard which, when the curtain goes up, turns out to be a performance for the entertainment of the Countess and her guests. Dvorák’s Sextet in A major was composed in 1978, soon after his successful first series of Slavonic Dances.</p>

<p>The Sextet opens with a melodious Allegro, and concludes with a charming theme and variations in the manner of the composer’s Eighth Symphony. The two central movements could hardly be more contrasted, the elegiac Dumka- a kind of Slavonic lament- offset by the Furiant’s hurtling forward momentum. </p>

<h1>Romantic Sextets: Borodin and Tchaikovsky</h1>
<p>10:00pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Borodin’s Sextet in D minor of which, unfortunately, only the first two movements survive, is thought to have been composed in 1860 while the composer was studying in Heidelberg. In the canonic first movement, a delightful Allegro, the instruments enter with the theme one after the other. The soulful Andante, like the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s sextet, reveals the influence of Russian folk melodies.</p>

<p>The Souvenir de Florence was written during the last years of Tchaikovsky’s life. It was composed upon his return from Florence, where the composer had been completing his penultimate opera The Queen of Spades. Tchaikovsky had written little chamber music, but he seems to have devoted a great deal of energy to perfecting the piece before its first performance in 1892.</p>

<p>‘What a sextet,’ he wrote to his brother, ‘and what a fugue at the end – it’s a pleasure! Awful, how pleased I am with myself!’</p>

<h1>Royal Academy of Music: Octets for Strings</h1>
<p>11:15am / Hall Two</p>
<p>The Royal Academy of Music presents a programme of string octets, beginning with Shostakovich’s Two Pieces (1924-5), written at the same time as his First Symphony.</p>

<p>The Prelude is a thrilling piece contrasting dark lyricism and rich textures with energetic staccato figures and virtuosic cadenzas. The Scherzo uses extreme juxtaposition of mood, from its furious introduction to the sombre cello solo, and musical effects to emphasise the frantic nature of the music.</p>

<p>Mendelssohn’s Octet, written at the tender age of sixteen, has become a core work for string ensemble. The carefree exuberance throughout the work belies the fiendish technical intricacies, and demonstrates the young composer’s artistic mastery far beyond his years, while retaining his unfettered youthful verve.</p>

<h1>Royal Academy of Music: Octets for Wind</h1>
<p>12:30pm / Hall Two</p>
<p>This afternoon’s concert opens with a dynamic piece written for an unusual combination of wind and brass instruments in the tragic aftermath of the war. Stravinsky’s Octet is one of his first post-War works to mark a distinct stylistic change, in an entirely new, neoclassical direction.</p>

<p>From his ingenious use of contemporary tonal ideas, to the seamless acknowledgment of music of bygone eras, including the Dies Irae chant, the waltz and a final majestic fugue, this work was destined to influence both the genre and the Parisian music scene from then on.  To contrast, Mozart’s Serenade No. 11, a work of grandeur in its own right, will conclude this afternoon’s concert.</p>

<p>Mozart’s inventiveness comes into play in this magnificent work, combining folk songs in the Minuets, an Adagio of operatic dimensions and a breezy, light-hearted finale. This closing work is a sure-fire crowd pleaser, and concludes this not-to-be-missed performance!</p>

<p>The brevity of Schubert’s own life brings a poignancy to his songs of death, but his art accepts mortality without sentimentality or regret. Sometimes there is a vision of a bliss beyond life, where the afflicted soul can be released from earthly strife and the unbearable burden of a whole world of sorrows.</p>

<h1>Josh Arcoleo & Guests</h1>
<p>3:15pm / Hall Two</p>
<p>Tenor saxophonist Josh Arcoleo is an exceptional musician with an already well-established authoritative and commanding sound. </p>

<p>Tonight, Arcoleo performs tracks from his debut album, Beginnings, released on Edition Records with Ivo Neame, Calum Gourlay and James Maddren. Beginnings is one of the most complete debut albums to emerge in a long time. </p>

<p>The album is immediately modern and wonderfully assured, yet the entire tradition of jazz’s first instrument flows through it. Arcoleo’s ‘BIG’ tenor sound can be heard throughout; listen out for the intro to the title track where Arcoleo and his musicians beautifully sketch what is to come before the rest of the album unfolds in elegant majesty.</p>

<h1>Jay Phelps & Friends</h1>
<p>5:00pm / St Pancras Room</p>
<p>Composer and trumpeter Jay Phelps is at the forefront of the young and creative generation of jazz musicians in the UK. Still only twenty seven, he is already determined to educate the next generation of jazz musicians with his Jazz Youth project. Jay tours extensively and is no stranger to Kings Place. </p>

<p>Jay explains the concept:</p>

<p>‘This concert showcases my sextet, here with fresh new material. The ensemble is basically a quintet plus a vocalist. This new music, tipping a hat towards bop as well as displaying a contemporary edge, will be the basis for my new album to be recorded later this year.</p>

<p>In previous concerts we utilised the vocalist as a special guest – however this time we will be integrating the vocals more with the rest of the band as well as taking greater risks both harmonically and rhythmically. Through composed melodies and forms, I plan to bring that big band excitement to a small band format.’ - <i>Jay Phelps</i></p>

<p>Faithfully re-imagined, ZRI present one of Brahms's best loved chamber music works, the Clarinet Quintet, in the form of a tavern ensemble of its time. Re-scored here with a santouri and accordion for the rich folk band sounds that inspired the original piece itself, ZRI weaves in gypsy and klezmer music to present a performance from a time when classical and folk came from the same place.</p>
<p>ZRI is a band of world class musicians who have appeared at major festivals, on major stages and in major films. Tonight we play several movements from Brahms' Clarinet Quintet intertwined with sweet and gritty traditional dances from the Carpathian Mountains.</p>

<h1>London Sinfonietta: Graham Fitkin and Laurence Crane</h1>
<p>6:00pm / Hall One</p>
<p>The first of two concerts that explore how the repetition of minimal amounts of musical material make for a compelling listen.</p>

<p>Laurence Crane’s music is hauntingly beautiful in its stillness.  Crafted with immense care, and a careful choice of consonant harmonies, his Trio and Riis both date from 1996.</p>

<p>Graham Fitkin was a pupil of Louis Andriessen, and while studying with him finally evolved his own highly tonal and often piano based version of minimal composition.  His early piano piece, The Cone Gatherers (1987) helped establish his reputation and the concert also features his high energy Flak for two pianos and eight hands and a new arrangement for ensemble of Compel.</p>

<p>The London Sinfonietta are joined by members of its own Academy, a summer course which trains the next generation of brilliant musicians for the future of new music performance in the UK.</p>

<h1>London Sinfonietta: Steve Reich</h1>
<p>7:15pm / Hall One</p>
<p>Steve Reich first developed his Counterpoint pieces in the 1980s, using in distilled form some of the compositional techniques he had developed from as early as the late 1960s.  </p>

<p>While these pieces can be performed live, using many instrumentalists, the idea of one live musician performing against a recording of themselves came from Reich’s earlier experiments that developed such techniques as phasing (a musical pattern shifting inexorably forward against a steady version of itself). </p>

<p>The Counterpoints use short melodic phrases which are mostly played in canon, repeated at a fixed distance from each other.  Each piece progresses through the differently paced sections by adding layer upon layer of interlocking ideas.  </p>

<p>While it’s possible to hear the musical evolution of each piece as the fragments build up, the listener can eventually just revel in the fascinating and energetic textures, picking out new melodic patterns that emerge, guided sometimes by the soloist who also layers these on top.</p>

Hegley has had success in many and varied fields including writing numerous collections of poetry, recording music sessions with John Peel, TV & Radio presenting, acting and bus conducting.</p>

<p>His stage act is just as eclectic featuring mandolin playing, performance poetry, audience participation and, of course, the unexpected. His material runs from the sublime to the ridiculous, from philosophising on dog hair to reminiscences of Luton.</p>

<h1>Emilia Martensson & Barry Green</h1>
<p>7:00pm / Box Office Stage</p>

<p>Emilia Mårtensson's teenage years were spent listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Anita O’ Day in the depths of Southern Sweden's countryside where she lived. She and a group of local boys were playing music in her parents restaurant which Emilia turned into one the regions most successful jazz clubs.</p>

<p>Emilia is now a London based singer of considerable repute. For sure, the jazz vocal legends inform Emilia's approach, yet it is the Swedish folk songs of her country that underpins who she is. Her pure, clear toned intimate voice, at times deeply soulful, at others ethereal, blur the lines between folk and jazz.</p>

<p>Pianist Barry Green is a sparkling player with oodles of imagination. As a lover of melody, but always with a twist, Barry was drawn to Emilia’s unique personal sound and musicality. Drawing on the wistful folk songs of Emilia’s homeland alongside some of the greatest songs of the last century, the two create a finely poised blend of jazz and artful alt-pop.</p>

<p>Their debut album And So it Goes is an outstanding recording by two lovers of great songs. Its pared down simplicity, intimacy and poise, is refreshing and belies great rapport between two of the UK’s finest musicians.</p>

Marcus Bonfanti is the crown prince of the new bloods, currently spearheading a one-man revival across the country. </p>

<p>From the first note of Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog the sixteen-year-old Bonfanti wanted to be a guitar player. Now twenty nine, Bonfanti has become the sum of all the great music he was exposed to. His 2008 debut album, Hard Times, sent some subtly effective messages about a new British voice demanding to be heard.</p>

<p>2010’s What Good Am I To You (listed in Classic Rock Magazine’s top 50 albums of 2010) and the single Give Me Your Cash (listed in the top 40 songs of 2010) make good on those promises. His albums have earned him nominations in both 2011 and 2012 British Blues Awards for Best Male Vocals and Best Guitar.</p>
