| 7.30pm St Sepulchre-without-Newgate Holborn Viaduct London EC1A 2DQ United Kingdom Details: Web site £12 (until 12 April) / £15 | £10 (concessions) | Ruins and Reflections Londinium, chamber choir Andrew Griffiths, conductor Gabriel Jackson: Lamentations of Jeremiah Philippe de Monte: Super flumina Babylonis Nico Mulhy: Recordare, Domine (UK Premiere) Alberto Ginastera: Lamentations of Jeremiah Rudolf Mauersberger: Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst William Byrd: Quomodo cantabimus Cecilia McDowall: The Lord is Good Darius Milhaud: Les Deux Cités In an eclectic and moving programme of choral music, Londinium takes its cue from the traditional Holy Week service of Tenebrae in exploring musical responses to the Book of Lamentations. These powerful words, written in response to the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the Israelites in Babylon, have found resonance with composers of many different periods, amongst them Byrd, a Catholic in a Protestant land, Ginastera, blacklisted by Perón’s Argentina, and Rudolf Mauersberger, mourning the devastation of his beloved Dresden. They continue to inspire new music today: our programme includes the UK première of Nico Muhly's 'Recordare, Domine', and two works written in 2012, Gabriel Jackson's 'Lamentations of Jeremiah' and Cecilia McDowall's 'The Lord is Good', which looks forward to Israel restored. Completing the journey from despair to new hope is Milhaud's superb, rarely-performed cantata 'Les Deux Cités', painting in exuberant colours the Revelation vision of the new Jerusalem. |

| 7.30pm Royal Festival Hall Belvedere Road London SE1 8XX United Kingdom Details: Web site +44 (0)844 847 9910 £10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 38, 45, 58 | Steven Isserlis performs Elgar Steven Isserlis, cello Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Kirill Karabits, conductor Prokofiev: Symphony No.1, 'Classical' Elgar: Cello Concerto Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade The great cellist Steven Isserlis performs Elgar’s Cello Concerto, with Kirill Karabits at the helm. Elgar wrote the piece – his last major work – in the wake of the First World War. The Concerto is suffused with desolate beauty, and the human quality of the cello makes it the perfect mouthpiece for such profoundly moving music. Framing the Concerto are works by Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov. Prokofiev’s ‘Classical’ Symphony is a witty tribute to the music of Haydn and his contemporaries, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade is a glittering and irresistible score. |

This late-Romantic masterpiece, named for the angel of death, draws also on Bohemian folk music and covers an extraordinary emotional span. The concert also features Nikolai Demidenko in Liszt’s thrilling Piano Concerto No 1. There will be a pre-concert talk at 6.30pm in the Esplanade Library. |

| 8.15pm Royal British Legion Hall Station Approach, Marlow Buckinghamshire SL7 1NT United Kingdom Details: Web site | BBO Big Band end of month gig |
| 8.30pm Lauderdale House, Waterlow Park, Highgate Hill, London N6 5HG United Kingdom Details: Katherine Ives Web site 020 8348 8716 £9. Concessions £7.50. | Georgia Mancio, with Nigel Price, guitar, and Julie Walkington, double bass. Georgia Mancio, vocals Nigel Price, guitar, Julie Walkington, double bass. Since winning the 2005 International Young Singers Award in Brussels, Georgia has steadily built a career that puts her, in the opinion of many critics, at the top of the list of ‘new-generation’ female singers. Though much of that reputation comes from her enthusiasm for Portuguese and Italian songwriters, for this concert Georgia returns to her first love – some of the great standard songs beloved of audiences worldwide. Nigel leads an extremely successful organ/guitar group in the UK, but working with Georgia brings out his more pensive side. Georgia will also be joined by one of her favourites, Julie Walkington, with her big, rich sound and great time. |
