| 7.30pm Suckley Church Church Lane, Suckley Worcestershire WR6 5DE Details: Web site | Volante Strings A Volante Strings concert brings together local professional musicians from all around this area of the 'Elgar Trail' and 'Three Choirs Festival'. Many have played in Suckley church before, for example in the 'Tiny Tunes' Concert or the Holmes Trio recital. We are delighted to now welcome Volante as a whole. Suckley church has a fine acoustic that is well suited to hosting a concert like this, but, without running water it struggles to provide basic facilities. With the help of this Volante concert and other generous folk we expect to be able to begin before Christmas making this fine building better equipped both as a church and as a useful multi-purpose space for the whole of this scattered rural community. |

| 7.30pm St. George's, Bloomsbury Bloomsbury Way London WC1A 2SA Details: Web site In Advance: £12/ £10. On the Door: £14/ £12 | Martin Luther - Ein Neues Lied Renaissance Singers, Choir Gawain Glenton, conductor Martin Luther (1483-1546) believed music should be central to faith, and that faith should be central to everyday life. The result was the promotion of a society in which music permeated all aspects of life. From humdrum daily rituals, to major landmarks and civic events: all were emphasised through music that was often communal. This concert brings together household hymns, love songs (some serious, some comic), dancing and drinking songs to give a flavour of the range of music in Luther’s time. Our exploration of Luther will also extend to the influence he had on later German composers, showing his influence on the work of Pachelbel, Christoph Bernhard, Schütz and in particular on J.S. Bach's monumental 8-part Der Geist Hilft. |

| 1.00pm St George the Martyr Church Borough High Street London SE1 1JA Details: Ben Smith and Patricia Auchterlonie Web site Free admission | Last Words Patricia Auchterlonie, soprano Ben Smith, piano Antonia Berg, flute Yoanna Prodanova, cello Salvatore Sciarrino (b. 1947): Due melodie per soprano e pianoforte (1978) Ben Smith (b. 1991): traces of oil (night music) (2017) [World premiere] Kate Soper (b. 1981): Only the words themselves mean what they say (2010-11) [UK premiere] Salvatore Sciarrino (b. 1947): ‘Ultime rose’ (from Vanitas) (1981) Borough New Music Series 3 event 1 The opening recital of Series 3 presents premieres by Kate Soper (b. 1981) and Ben Smith (b. 1991), both of which explore language and meaning in various states of fragmentation, framed by two rarely performed chamber works by Salvatore Sciarrino (b. 1947). Inspired by poetry, Sciarrino sets two almost identical poems from a 17th century Italian source in his 'Due melodie per soprano e pianoforte', whereas Smith’s 'traces of oil (night music)' for solo cello draws upon the medieval Japanese 'Pillow Book' by Sei Shonagon. Soper’s 'Only the words themselves mean what they say' (setting words by Lydia Davies) for voice and flute creates a composite meta-instrument, demanding an intensely visceral display of virtuosity from both players. |

Sir Mark Elder conducts Britten Sinfonia in a performance that returns to the spirit of those early concerts and allows the details of Brahms’s extraordinary lyrical masterpiece to shine through. To accompany the work, Elder has chosen Mahler’s sublime Rückert-Lieder, with mezzo Elisabeth Kulman, and Finzi’s soaring elegy for orchestra. Benjamin Britten’s arrangement of the second movement of Mahler’s Third Symphony completes the eloquent programme. Pre-concert talk, 6.30pm Sir Mark Elder discusses tonight’s programme (free to ticket holders) |
