| Boulder Colorado United States of America Details: Web site | Colorado MahlerFest XXXII One day in the 1970s, Robert Olson was reading a Mahler biography while sitting at the shore of Lake Dillon near Breckenridge, Colorado - a favorite spot framed by the magnificent 14,000 foot peaks of the Rockies. Olsen had studied conducting with Hans Swarowsky in Vienna, where he had been deeply moved by the funeral march from Mahler's Symphony No 5 played at the Austrian president's funeral. Olsen realized that this beautiful Colorado landscape was not unlike Mahler's summertime composing environs, and it was then that he conceived the Colorado MahlerFest. |

| 7.30pm Milton Court Concert Hall Milton Court, Silk Street London EC2Y 9BH United Kingdom Details: Barbican Box Office Web site 02076388891 £15 - £35 | Britten Sinfonia - Beethoven Symphony Cycle (No. 9) Britten Sinfonia Thomas Ades, conductor Claudia Boyle, soprano Britten Sinfonia Voices Eamonn Dougan, Britten Sinfonia Voices director Gerald Barry: The Eternal Recurrence Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 (choral) Britten Sinfonia’s Beethoven Symphony Cycle, conducted by Thomas Adès, concludes with Beethoven’s mighty ‘choral’ symphony and Gerald Barry’s feverish The Eternal Recurrence. Beethoven’s extraordinary Ninth Symphony is regarded by many as the finest of all symphonies, and its message of humanity, perhaps most famously encapsulated in the symphony’s Ode to Joy chorus, continues to resonate today (not least, as the anthem for the European Union). Here, Beethoven’s masterful celebration of the human race is paired with Gerald Barry’s The Eternal Recurrence, a brilliant, feverish setting of texts from Nietzsche’s philosophical novel Also sprach Zarathustra. |
