<p><strong>This year’s series of six Cycle S concerts draws to a close in Austria.</strong></p> <p>We present the extensive range of music from the Austrian school of composition through the works of Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg (Schönberg’s pupil), Olga Neuwirth (the first female composer to be commissioned by the Vienna State Opera) and Johannes Maria Staud (whose compositions have been premiered by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, and by the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Daniel Barenboim).</p>
<p><strong>Pierre Boulez</strong> – French composer, a dominant figure in postwar classical music, the recipient of numerous awards including the Polar Music Prize (1996): “... <em>His profound musicality, clear music intelligence and unusual farsightedness have enabled him to act in a wider field than the great majority. </em><em>Thus</em><em> he has occupied the forefront as composer, interpreter/conductor and eminent theorist, and he has made unique contributions as a debater and source of ideas.”</em></p> <p><strong>Olivier Messiaen </strong>– French composer, musicologist, organist, pianist and ornithologist, teacher of Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis. A pioneer of serialism and composer with an unusually refined style in terms of tonality and harmony. His important Quartet for the End of Time, composed in 1941 in a prison camp in Silesian Zhořelec, is being performed as part of the 30th anniversary of the composer’s death.</p>
<p>Three musicians representing the contemporary generation of composers in Estonia, Latvia and Finland:</p> <p><strong>Kaija Saariaho</strong> – recipient of an American Grammy Award for best opera, L’amour de loin (2011), recipient of the Polar Music Prize (2013), voted the world’s greatest living composer in a BBC survey in 2019.</p> <p><strong>Peteris Vasks </strong>– leading Latvian composer, recipient of numerous awards, an honorary member of the Latvian Academy of Sciences (1994), main composer at the Stockholm New Music Festival (1996), a member of the Royal Swedish Music Academy (2001).</p> <p><strong>Arvo Pärt </strong>– leading Estonian composer, one of the most frequently played contemporary composers in the world, in 2020 he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award for his contribution to culture.</p>
<p>Hans Werner Henze and Karlheinz Stockausen are two central figures of 20th century German music and their compositions bookend this evening’s music programme. However, the focus will be on the eminent German clarinettist and contemporary composer – Jörg Widmann, who performed with the PKF – Prague Philharmonia as a soloist clarinettist at a concert during the Prague Spring International Music Festival 2021. Today’s concert presents Jörg Widmann as Germany’s leading contemporary composer whose works are brought out by erudite publishers and performed by soloists and ensembles across the world.</p>
